  • 1/2 cup butter, softened Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature.
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter. Mix until creamy and smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a Halal-friendly option, swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt. Let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes before baking for best results. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies light and fluffy.
