Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Optional: 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Cheeses: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

      Add Sugars: Gradually mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

          Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

            Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, a little at a time, mixing until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.

              Chocolate Chips & (Optional) Graham Crackers: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the crushed graham crackers for extra texture.

                Form the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop heaping amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.

                    Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Serve: Enjoy your delectable Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies warm or at room temperature! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
