This is a slightly healthier version of traditional chocolate chip cookies because margarine and cream cheese replace straight butter. They bake up moist and cake-like and have a delicious taste. I always gets rave reviews!
Original recipe makes 2 dozen
Ingredients
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray (I use butter flavored) and set aside.
- Combine cream cheese, margarine, and sugars. Blend in egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add chocolate chips and mix.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are slightly browned. Enjoy!
