A new take on chocolate chip cookies. They are soft and yummy and so easy to make.
1 can crescent rolls ( pinch together seams to make one piece)
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cu. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
¾ cu. mixed peanut butter and chocolate chips
Beat sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
Unroll the crescent roll sheet onto lightly floured surface. Stretch the dough out, using 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.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent sheet, leaving a gap at the edge about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle the 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 entirely solid as the cream cheese mix won’t freeze hard.
When chilled preheat oven to 350°.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.nSlice the crescent roll into 1/4" slices. They won’t keep the precise round shape, but that is alright.
Bake on cookie sheet for 12 -14 minutes until crescent roll appears golden brown.
Cool on the parchment paper or wire rack.
