1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Notes
Use full-fat block cream cheese for best texture.
Try white chocolate chips or a chocolate mix for variation.
Add chopped nuts or graham cracker crumbs for extra texture and flavor.
Dough can be refrigerated up to 48 hours before baking.
Freeze dough balls and bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes of baking time.
