Preparation
Step 1Make the Cookie Dough Filling: In a medium bowl, stir melted butter and brown sugar. Add cream cheese and whip—using an electric mixer—until creamy. Whip in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips.Step 2Make the French Toast: Spread cream cheese mixture onto a slice of bread. Place another slice on top, pressing down to make a sandwich. Repeat until all stuffed French toasts have been made. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. As butter melts, grab a shallow bowl and beat eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and cinnamon.Step 3Dip stuffed French toast into egg mixture, submerging both sides completely. Place dipped French toast onto the sauté pan, cooking both sides until lightly golden. Repeat with all stuffed French toasts you’ve made. Serve warm with maple syrup.
