Cream cheese adds flavor and a chewy texture to these pizza-sized cookies. ~------------------------------------------------------------------------Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease two 12-inch pizza pans. Cream butter, sugars, cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl. Add eggs; beat until light. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
