Preheat oven to 375~ F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or
spray with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, stir
together flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Melt butter in a
small saucepan over low heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until the
butter turns nutty brown, 30 to 60 seconds. Pour into a large mixing
bowl. Add cream cheese, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat with
an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add egg, egg white and
vanilla; beat until well incorporated. Add the reserved flour mixture
and chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined.
(The batter will be runny.) Drop the batter by rounded
tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake, one sheet at a time , for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
Transfer the cookies to racks and let cool. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen
