Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or blueberries for a fruity twist)

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and softened butter. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

      Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

        Incorporate Egg: Add the egg to the mixture and beat well until combined. This will add moisture and richness to your cookies.

          Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined and no flour streaks remain.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips (or blueberries, if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread slightly.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.

                  Cool Down: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Dust and Serve: If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation. Enjoy your delightful cheesecake cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
