Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Form the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
