An interesting twist on an old favorite, courtesy of Southern Living magazine:

1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cream butter and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and stir well. Add flour and vanilla, stirring until dough is formed.

Fold in chocolate chips. Roll teaspoon sized balls and drop onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 13-15 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Remove cookie sheet from oven and let cookies set for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool. Makes approx. 3 dozen cookies.
