PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
• 2. Cream the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugars, and vanilla.
• 3. Add in eggs one at a time.
• 4. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, and soda.
• 5. Mix into wet ingredients. Let chill 1 hour.
• 6. Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of dough onto sprayed cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
• 7. I melted some peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips and drizzled over some of the cookies, just to give them a bit of color. I have added chocolate chips to these cookies before.

PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE CHIP CREAM CHEESE COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
• Unroll the crescent roll sheet onto lightly floured surface. . Stretch the dough out, I use a rolling pin to do this, then trim the edges to give it a good rectangular shape. A pizza cutter is great for trimming edges of dough. Pinch together seams on pre-cut crescents if necessary.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent sheet, leaving a gap at the edge about 1/2 inch.
• Sprinkle your chips on top of cream cheese - press them in lightly to aid in rolling.
• Roll the crescent sheet up tightly and wrap in cling wrap.
• Place in freezer for at least 2 hours it won't get really solid as the cream cheese mix won't freeze hard.
• When chilled preheat oven to 350°.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (prevents sticking and helps in cleanup).
• Slice the crescent roll into 1/4" slices. They won't keep the precise round shape, but that is fine!
• Bake on prepared cookie sheet for 12 -14 minutes until crescent roll appears golden brown.
• Cool on the parchment paper or wire rack.
