   Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

   Ingredients:

   2 cups all-purpose flour
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon baking powder
   1/8 teaspoon baking soda
   10 tablespoons butter (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons)
   1 cup sugar
   1 egg
   3 ounces cream cheese
   1 teaspoon vanilla
   12 ounces chocolate chips

   What you'll do:
   Preheat oven to 375. Combine dry ingredients (flour through
   soda) in a bowl and set aside. In mixer, blend butter, sugar,
   egg, cream cheese, and vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients,
   mixing with each addition, until all are incorporated. Stir in
   the chocolate chips. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
   Drop dough by the spoonful onto sheet, at least 1 inch apart.
   Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around edges.

   Note: Dough can be refrigerated until firm, then rolled into a
   log and frozen (in air-tight freezer bag) for up to 1 month.
   When ready to bake, let thaw 30 minutes to 1 hour (until soft
   enough to slice); slice in 3/4? wide disks and bake.
