My Ultimate Egg-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

I created this recipe for my son who has multiple food allergies. I took my favorite Ghirardelli chocolate chip recipe and replaced the eggs with cream cheese :-)

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Yields: 48 cookies

Ingredients

• 2  cups  semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1  cup butter or 1  cup margarine, at room temperature
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 8  ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixer bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Gradually blend dry mixture into butter/sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoons (I use a 18/8 cookie scoop) onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375ºF for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown.
