Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

By AzWench

This just may be my new favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie.

It’s made with butter AND cream cheese.

It’s dense, chewy, chocolatey and very delicious.

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened (recipe called for 5-6 but I only had 4)
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups plus 3 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment

Cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the Vanilla.

Sift together dry ingredients and then add them to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

*original recipe suggests chilling the dough overnight but I made them right away

Place a large scoop (about 2 tbsp) on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly with your hand.

Bake 12-14 minutes or until edges are looking light golden brown.

Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets before moving to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!
