Are you sick of desserts yet?
I feel like I have eaten my weight in chocolate this holiday season. And then some.
But somehow, I am not sick of chocolate just yet. Especially not in these Crispy Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Cookies. These might be some of my favourite cookie recipes to date.
What you need to make Crispy Chocolate Chunk Cream Cheese Cookies
I always have almost all of the ingredients already in my pantry. All you need is:
- flour
- baking powder
- salt
- Rice Krispies
- butter
- cream cheese
- sugar
- chocolate chunks
Variations and Substitutions
If you don't have chocolate chunks, any kind of chocolate chips would work here as mix-ins. Or a nut or dried fruit. Really, this recipe is so versatile, it works well with anything you can think of mixing in.
I have also made this recipe vegan for some of my vegan students and it was a hit! All you need to do is replace the butter and cream cheese for vegan butter and vegan cream cheese, and make sure you buy some vegan chocolate chips. It doesn't taste any worse, and it's great because anyone can eat them!
