Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

This is one of the many cookies I made for Christmas this year! It was originally a Pinterest recipe and can be found here. These were pretty good, though they were more cake-y than cookie in texture, and I think next time I would use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

Ingredients:
  • * 1 cup butter, softened (I used margarine, which may have effected the texture)
  • * ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • * ¾ cup brown sugar
  • * 8 oz. Lite cream cheese, softened 
  • * 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • * 1 egg
  • * 2 ¼ cup flour 
  • * 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • * 1 teaspoon salt
  • * 2 cups Hershey's Baking Melts (I used mini semi-sweet chips)

Directions: 

1. Beat together the 1c. butter, 3/4c. sugar, 3/4c. brown sugar, and cream cheese in a bowl.

2. Add the egg and 1t. vanilla, mix well.

3. Mix together the 2 1/4c. flour, 1t. baking soda, and 1t. salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredient bowl, scraping down the sides of the bowl as it mixed. 

4. Mix in the chocolates with a spoon.

5. Scoop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheets. 

6. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes, until the edges look set.

7. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to wire rack.
