Cream Cheese Cookies Recipe 2024
Cream Cheese Cookies are soft, fluffy, and melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened (1 stick)
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ¾ cups cake flour
Instructions
Prep the Baking Sheet 🍪
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Ingredients 🥣
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer. Add the sugar and beat for 1 minute. Mix in the egg, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually add the baking powder and cake flour in three parts, mixing until fully combined.
Chill the Dough ❄️
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
Shape the Cookies 👐
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Flour your hands to roll the dough into 1-2 inch balls. Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a flour-dipped glass. Don’t flatten too much—leave room for the cookies to puff up.
Bake ⏲️
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove the cookies when the edges underneath start to turn golden. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and altitude.
