Cream Cheese & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made These for the Smack. Seems like so long ago, now ...



INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup butter, softened
* 4 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 egg
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup mini chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets or use parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls. Cookies do not melt down round, so roll and flatten if desired.
3. Bake for ~15 minutes in preheated oven. Cookies should be pale.

These are a very light textured cookie. You could also make them with a cookie press or make thumbprint jam filled cookies with this recipe.
