Cream Cheese Snickerdoodles

I love snickerdoodle cookies and I really love cream cheese so I wanted to blend the two and after one attempt that was okay, this one is definitely a keeper!

Cream Cheese Snickerdoodles

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 c of milk chocolate chips

Topping:
1/4 c of sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt.
With electric mixer, cream butter, cream cheese and sugars until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture a little at a time and mix well. Add chocolate chips and stir to just combine.
I use a melon to scoop the dough and roll it in the sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat. Place on non-stick baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes or until edges are slightly browned.
