Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies


Today I went to a birthday lunch and was told to bring dessert... no problem!!! Since the birthday girl is not too fond of sweets (and she bakes and decorates cupcakes for a living!), I wanted to find a cookie that wasn't really sweet. These cookies from Bake or Break fit the bill! The cream cheese gives it a different taste and makes them really, really soft. And unlike most recipes, I actually made this one as-is! My only note is that if you do not have a cookie scoop, you cookies will not be perfectly shaped - see my pic below.

Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: about 48 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 & 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used a 12 oz package)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease or line baking pans.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter, cream cheese, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until almost combined. Add chocolate chips, stirring until dough is thoroughly mixed.
Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared pans. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. (These cookies will not brown like classic chocolate chip cookies.)
Cool cookies completely on pan on wire racks.
