Description
These soft cream cheese cookies are perfect for any occasion. They’re easy to make and taste delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add the eggs and mix to combine.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Add the powdered sugar to a high-sided bowl. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. Drop each scoop directly into the powdered sugar and roll it around until it’s coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet until there are 9 dough balls about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes or until the tops look set. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for an hour helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
