1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Scoop 24 level teaspoonfuls. Freeze for 20 minutes.
Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg, yolk, and maple syrup, mixing until incorporated.
Fold in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
