I recently had these cookies at a family function and they were delicious. They are simple, but tasty. It reminds me that sometimes “less is more” as the saying goes.
Please email me at brencook4u@aol.com when you make them and let me know how your family liked them.
CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE COOKIES
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch kosher salt
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbs. ground cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar until combined. Add egg, baking powder, vanilla and salt. Mix to combine. Add flour in slowly until fully incorporated, scraping the sides as needed. Place in fridge for one hour to rest.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
- Roll dough into 1-inch sized balls, about 2 teaspoons worth of dough. Roll until coated in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, until just set. Do not over bake. It is hard to tell when these cookies are ready; they will puff up but won’t get golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.
