Cooking instruction summary:

To make the cookies - in a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed for about 1 minute, until well combined. Add in both kinds of sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and well combined, about 2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Slowly add in the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and chill for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Scoop about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of dough (I used my large cookie scoop). Drop on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use your fingers to flatten each cookie a little (they won’t really spread while baking).** Bake for about 14 to 16 minutes, until the cookies are set. Let the cookies cool directly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. If you are baking the cookies in batches, make sure you keep the dough in the refrigerator in between. For the topping - lay out a piece of wax paper on a work surface or a baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate (I usually do this in the microwave - heating in 30 second intervals at 50% powder, stirring after each until smooth). Carefully dip half of each cookie in the white chocolate and then set on the wax paper. Sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Let the white chocolate harden completely before removing from the wax paper. Store in an airtight container.
