Life is a Cookie... A Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookie.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies

Yes. This recipe combines the two most wonderful things, chocolate chip cookies and CHEESE. Of course, it's cream cheese so they don't taste like cheese or anything. But the fluffiness of the cream cheese adds some fluffiness and cakeiness to what would usually be the traditional chocolate chip cookie, which is already delicious on its own.

Is this recipe worth a try? YES. Especially if you are a fan of dipping cookies in a nice glass of milk like I am. These cookies are maybe the best milk-soaking up cookies I have ever encountered.
For the original recipe, take a gander at How Sweet It Is, a blog I stumbled upon when in search of an interesting twist on chocolate chip cookies. I pretty much followed her recipe verbatim, except I noticed the cookies needed about 12 minutes of cooking, not 8-10. Blame these high New Jersey altitudes:

Cream Cheese Chocolate Cookies

1 cup butter

3 oz of cream cheese

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and cream cheese together. Add vanilla and mix. Stir in flour and salt, just until blended. Fold in chocolate chips.

Bake for 8-10 (12!) minutes or until edges are golden brown. The cookies will remain light in color.
