These delicious cream cheese chocolate chip cookies are soft and gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside. An easy small-batch cookie recipe using regular pantry ingredients.
Everyone loves a chocolate chip cookie recipe!
We've turned things up a notch and added a delicious sweet cream cheese to the cookie dough and this gives a lovely creamy, soft texture to the cookie, and combined with the chocolate chips, these cookies are so easy to eat with a nice cold glass of milk.
This recipe is super easy, and the ingredients we've used are easy to find, and you're likely to have most if not all of the ingredients in your pantry already. You don't need any special equipment, although a hand mixer will make it quicker and easier to mix the ingredients.
These cookies are a softer type of cookie, similar in texture to our banana and cranberry drop cookies, so if you're looking for a crispy cookie, check out our vanilla thins cookie recipe!
