Description

Soft and chewy cinnamon cream cheese cookies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
  • 4 oz cream cheese (½ block), room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • ¾ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine butter and cream cheese and beat until light and smooth. Mix in powdered sugar until fully combined.
  2. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  3. In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet.
  4. Cover bowl and chill dough in the fridge for a minimum of 60 minutes.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Sift together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Scoop and roll dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and then roll all sides in cinnamon mixture.
  8. Arrange on baking sheet a couple inches apart (as they will spread).
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for at least 60 minutes for best results.
  • Cookies will spread during baking, so leave enough space between them on the baking sheet.
