Classic chocolate chip cookies are made softer and even more decadent with the addition of cream cheese! Make these cream cheese chocolate chip cookies for cookie swaps, potlucks, or the next time a cookie craving hits. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like my chocolate chip cookie recipe<\/a>, this cream cheese version results in cookies that are chewy around the edges and soft in the center. Cream cheese may sound kind of strange, but it makes the cookies even richer in flavor and softer in texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the cream cheese is mixed together with the butter, it gets fully mixed into the cookie dough. I don’t think anyone who eats these cookies will be able to tell that there’s cream cheese in them \u2014 they’ll just wonder what the secret ingredient is that makes them taste so good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cookies are also perfect for just about any occasion. You can even keep a stash of the cookie dough in your freezer to bake whenever you need a freshly baked cookie. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
