The Chewiest Cookie!

Ooey, gooey, soft and chewy!Some people like a thiner, crisper chocolate chip cookie.  Then there are the others who prefer the soft and chewy variety.  If this is the camp you belong to, we have a great tip for you.  Replace the butter (or maybe even half the butter) in your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with ….wait for it …. CREAM CHEESE!

This makes the softest, chewiest cookie you can imagine.  You are going to want to allow the cream cheese to come up to room temperature before you begin making your cookie dough, but unlike butter which melts in the baking process and then firms up once baked and cooled, the cream cheese never gets completely runny nor does it become completely firm once the heating (aka baking) is done, thus rendering a perfectly chewy cookie.

Give this a try and let us know what you think….as you already know,  cookies can only make you feel like life is “sweetly” very abundant 🙂

P.S. Don’t forget to sprinkle your warm cookies with tiny bit of sea salt for added flavor.
