Cheesecake Cookies (Re-do)

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)


• 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)


• 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar


• 2 eggs


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


• 2 teaspoons baking powder


• 1/2 teaspoon salt


• Powdered Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 
   
   


2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.


3. Beat cream cheese and butter together at high speed until fluffy and smooth; 1-2 minutes. Add sugar to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated and fluffy; 1-2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla; 1 minute.


4. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir just until incorporated. Do not over-mix.


5. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets; batter will be sticky.


6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes. Cookies should be light in color, not browned, and just starting to brown on the bottom. *Length of baking time may vary from oven to oven.


7. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.


8. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip in chocolate once cooled.

NOTES

• The vanilla smooths out the flavor, but for a more tart, cheesey flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or no extracts at all. 


• Do not overbake. This can cause the cookies to come out more dry and biscuit like.
