Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream butter and cream cheese in large mixer bowl.
  • Beat in sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Stir in flour and baking powder.
  • Chill several hours (I would say 3 hours).
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll dough into small balls.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Flatten with a glass that has been dipped in vanilla sugar (sugar in which you have stored a vanilla bean) or plain sugar.
  • Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese. This will make the dough easier to mix and will help the cookies turn out smooth and creamy.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Over-baked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Use your favorite frosting recipe. There are endless possibilities when it comes to frosting cream cheese sugar cookies. Try a simple glaze, a rich chocolate ganache, or a tangy lemon cream cheese frosting

Conclusion:

Cream cheese sugar cookies are a classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite flavors and frosting. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
