INSTRUCTIONS

1 Beat cream cheese and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add sugars, vanilla and salt; mix until blended and smooth. Stir in vanilla wafer crumbs and chocolate chips.
2 Press cookie dough mixture firmly into an even layer onto bottom of foil-lined 15x10x1-inch shallow baking pan. Freeze 1 to 2 hours or until firm.
3 Flip cookie dough onto cutting board. Remove foil. Cut into star shapes with 2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Press cookie dough scraps onto pan, refreezing cookie dough if too soft, to cut out more stars. Freeze or refrigerate cookie dough stars until ready to serve. Storage Tip : Store Cookie Dough Stars in refrigerator if softer texture is desired. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week or in freezer up to 1 month.
