Cheesecake Chocolate Chip Cookies

Adapted slightly from Tasty Kitchen. A HUGE hit today at church!

1 cup butter, softened (no substitutes)
¾ cups sugar
¾ cups brown sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2¼ cups plus 2 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1¼ cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Cream butter and sugars by hand until nice and creamy.

Add cream cheese and continue to mix until all lumps are gone and it is nice and smooth.

Add vanilla and egg and mix.

Slowly add flour, a little at a time. Add baking soda and salt and mix well, but not too much!

Add the chocolate chips.

Scoop cookie dough by the rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet; make sure they aren’t too close though!

Bake for 9-11 minutes.

Cool on a rack and once they are all the way cool, put into a plastic bag or container and keep in the fridge. (Be careful they don't spoil since they have cream cheese in them.)

Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies
