Death by Chocolate Cookies

I found this recipe in my Betty Crocker cookbook. I like to add 1/2 cup of toffee bits to my cookies.

• Yields: 60 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 3⁄4 cup  stick margarine, softened
• 1  cup granulated sugar
• 1  cup  packed light brown sugar
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 1⁄8 teaspoon  almond extract (optional)
• 2  large eggs
• 2⁄3 cup  chocolate fudge topping (ice-cream topping)
• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup  baking cocoa
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  cup white chocolate chips
• 1  cup  milk chocolate chips or 1  cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 then spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray.
2. Beat the cream cheese & margarine together in a large bowl with an electric beater on medium (2 mins).
3. Add the sugars, vanilla, almond extract, eggs, & ice-cream topping & beat for another 3 minutes.
4. Mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl. Then slowly beat into the margarine mixture until evenly mixed.
5. Stir in the chips then spoon heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are set. (The centers still should be very soft).
7. Cool on a wire rack for 3 minutes then remove from the cookie sheets.
