Cookies for breakfast? Why not! These easy Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies are perfect for a sweet and satisfying morning munch. One of my kids favorite breakfast cookies!
You read that right.
Breakfast cookies.
I am not above eating desserts for breakfast. It’s basically the American way. I mean hello Pop Tarts and Cookie Crisp.
Actually I think it’s a proven fact that a slice of cake tastes best with a cup of coffee at 8 a.m…am I right or am I right?
Don’t answer, I’m right.
So today I am not only making it ok to eat cookies for breakfast, I am encouraging it.
Don’t let labels keep you boxed it.
“Breakfast” doesn’t mean “eggs and bacon” or “Cheerios”…I’m pretty sure the literal translation means “eat cookies in the morning”
…don’t argue.
So let’s do this.
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Breakfast Cookies for everyone!
How to Make these Easy Breakfast Cookies
You’ll only need a few ingredients for these yummies. Which is kinda great because no one needs complicated at 7:00 in the morning.
I love Crescent Rolls and that’s where these cookies begin. They are available now “seamless” so the possibilities are huge…
If you can’t find the seamless, no worries, just roll out a regular can and don’t separate them.
Unroll the sheet of dough and stretch it out so it’s evenly rectangular.
Mix up some softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla and then spread it over your dough.
Sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top of the cream cheese…
and roll it up.
Wrap your crescent log in cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Or make them the night before…
When you’re ready to bake your cookies, preheat your oven and slice into 1/4″ pieces.
Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet.
When they are done they will be golden brown…
Serve them warm or room temperature.
Good morning to ya!

The filling reminds me of the cookie dough dip from Brown Eyed Baker. But now I get to eat it for breakfast!
Breakfast cookies work for me! Fun idea!
This is an amazing idea! I noticed the sheets of crescent dough the last time I was at the grocery store. You are a sugary genius!
Definitely my kind of breakfast:-) I mean if we can have pop tarts and donuts for breakfast…why not crescent roll cookies? I am onboard! These sounds awesome!!!
So..I’m assuming you’re making these for me when I visit? Oh, it will be so wonderful to wake up to fresh baked breakfast cookies. What a good friend you are!!
Too easy, I love this! Think of the possibilities… cinnamon roll breakfast cookies?! OMG.
Oh my goodness, these are sort of genius!!! Don’t know if I would eat this for breakfast (I think I would end up just eating sweets all day, then!) but these would be perfect for an afternoon snack. Great recipe 😀
I can’t wait to try these.
Oh man! Wishing I had a couple of these with my coffee right about now!
Now this is my kinda breakfast!
