Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup butter room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the 8 ounces cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until creamy.
Add in the 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup light brown sugar. Continue to mix until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add in the 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
Add the 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients. Beat until the flour is just incorporated into the cookie dough.
Fold in the 2 1/4 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips.
Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Place in the oven and bake for 11 - 12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack or paper towel to cool completely.
Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
