3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
8 oz block cream cheese, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Cream together butter and sugars. Add cream cheese and vanilla, mix until combined. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to butter and sugars. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
