Start your day with a delightful twist by indulging in these soft and chewy Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies. Packed with creamy goodness and the richness of chocolate chips, they're perfect for a cozy breakfast or a quick snack.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup brown sugar. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup old-fashioned oats. 1 cup chocolate chips. 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the old-fashioned oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts if using. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies as a delightful morning treat!
