Cream Cheese Cookies

on

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Chill time: 1 hour
Bake time: 10 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 25 minutes
Yield: 20 cookies

Ingredients:
  • 1 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream together butter and cream cheese with a whisk or an electric mixer.
  2. Add sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add egg and beat to combine. Add vanilla extracts and beat the dough until combined. Add in baking powder and the flour, mixing to combine.
  3. Once incorporated, refrigerate the dough for at least an hour, covered.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375ºF. The dough can be sticky so dust your hands with flour to roll out 1-2 inch balls. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten the balls, using your fingers or the bottom of a glass. Don’t flatten too much, the cream cheese cookies won’t puff up otherwise.
  5. Bake the cream cheese cookies for 9-11 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven when you see the underside edges turning golden. This might vary for your oven, so watch these cookies carefully. Allow cooling down on a wire rack and dust the cream cheese cookies with icing sugar, if you like. Enjoy!
