3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups plus 3 tbsp all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325° and line baking sheets with parchment.
Cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the Vanilla.
Sift together dry ingredients and then add them to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Place a large scoop (about 2 tbsp) on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly with your hand. Bake 12-14 minutes (mine took about 16 minutes) or until edges are looking light golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheets before moving to wire racks to cool completely.

I would have never thought to add cream cheese to cookies. Good addition with the sea salt!
Oh my goodness! Cream Cheese in cookies?!?! Must try ASAP!!!
They look fantastic, and I love the addition of cream cheese (just like in your recipe I made this month) 🙂
I love adding secret ingredients to all kinds of food, including Chocolate Chip Cookies. My best is Chia Peas (YUM, healthy too).
My recipe from SRC today was wonderful! Come check it out! http://momscrazycooking.blogspot.com/2012/06/german-chocolate-cracker-candy-secret.html
That’s funny…I just selected a recipe over the weekend based on the fact that it had cream cheese! Love it….Great SRC choice.
Wow! I bet the cream cheese really puts these over the top! They look delicious 🙂
Now, why didn’t I think of that? 🙂 What a great idea, and a wonderful recipe. Going on my “must make” list!
nothing quite like a good choc chip biscuit!! great post!
Cream cheese would have to make a cc cookie even more delish! Can’t wait to try these. Great SRC pick.
I finally finished my pantry clean out and found, oh, I don’t know, 12 bags of chocolate chips. I now know what I will use some of them for! Great SRC post!
I’ve never heard of putting cream cheese in cookies before!! Awesome choice for SRC. Bet these were delicious. 🙂
I’ll bet that these were amazing with the the cream cheese, even more rich and delicious. I MUST try this recipe.

These look yummy. I’m going to break down and buy some sea salt….that’s right…I’ve never had any…but this will be the recipe that makes me buy some. TFS
Your cookies sound yummy! I usually put chocolate chips and heath in my cookies do you think it would work with this recipe?
I THINK SO!!! I just made heath and choc chunk cookies last night-will post this week!!!
Will look out for your recipe….thank you!
I just realized no eggs in this recipe…just put them in the oven
yup! egg free!!!
Darn! I just made cc cookies last night. Will try another time.
You mean you don’t make cookies EVERY night? hahahhahaa
I made these yesterday, mainly because they were egg free, and eggs and I aren’t friendly. I thought the cream cheese was an excellent idea. These were excellent coming out of the oven, very smooth and creamy, however, when they cooled, I was very disappointed. they became hard, dry little pucks. is the egg free an error, and they actually should have eggs which would soften them up, or did I do something wrong I followed the recipe
nope, egg free is right! not sure why hard though-over baked possibly?
I don’t think I over baked them, they weren’t brown, I did have the convection in the oven on, would that do it?
Yes, that could be the culprit. I do find the convection setting cooks things faster for sure so maybe it dried them out a bit more.
I’ll retry without the convection
thanks, thery were awesome coming out of the oven the first time!!!
The first time I made them I cooked them for 18 minutes. I thought they were good but when I ate them the next day they were a little hard but still good. So I remade them 2 more times but for only 14 minutes and they came out PERFECT nice and chewy. Everyone loved them. Thank you for the Recipe.
