Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cream cheese chocolate cookies are soft cookies with wonderful texture and flavor. The addition of cream cheese along with the butter gives these chocolate chip cookies a rich, dense, cake-like texture. 

The cookie dough is versatile, too. Instead of chocolate chips, use part peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips. Or make them raisins and a dash of spice flavor. See the tips and variations for more.
