Indulge in the delectable delight of cream cheese sugar cookies with this irresistible recipe. These soft and chewy treats are perfect for any occasion, from holiday gatherings to cosy nights in.
To make these heavenly treats, gather your ingredients:
Ingredients
cream cheese
butter
sugar
vanilla extract
all-purpose flour
baking powder
and salt
Directions
Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow it to firm up.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you portion out tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centres should still be slightly soft as they will firm up as they cool on a wire rack.
These cream cheese sugar cookies can be enjoyed as is or decorated with icing or sprinkles for added flair. They also make delightful gifts when packaged beautifully.
