Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies Recipe:


2 cups all-purpose flour                                         1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt                                                 1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder                                  3 ounces cream cheese
1/8 teaspoon baking soda                                     1 teaspoon vanilla
10 tablespoons butter (1 stick plus 2 tablsp)           12 ounces chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375.


Combine dry ingredients (floor through soda) in a bowl and set aside. In mixer, blend butter, sugar, egg, cream cheese, and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients, mixing with each addition, until all are incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. 


Grease a cookie sheet. Drop dough by the spoonful onto sheet, at least 1 inch apart. 


Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around edges. 


Note: Dough can be refrigerated until firm, then rolled into a log and frozen (in air-tight freezer bag) for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, let thaw 30 minutes to 1 hour (until soft enough to slice); slice in 3/4" wide disks and bake.

(I DID refrigerate the batter for 10 minutes or so because I didn't want flat cookies)
12 minutes later....

Oddly enough I didn't really taste the cream cheese in the cookies at all (Maybe if you want a stronger cream cheese flavor you can add more cream cheese)! I'm a cream cheeseaholic and I can spot cream cheese when it's in something! But, I COULD tell a difference in the moisture of the cookies compared to just a regular chocolate chip cookie. They were so much MORE moist! Even days later, I pop one of these babies in the microwave for 12 seconds and they are as good as they were when they first came out of the oven! I'll definitely make these again! Thanks for following!!
