Materials

  • 1 8oz package Hiland Dairy Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Hiland Dairy Butter room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the Hiland Dairy Cream Cheese and Butter on medium high speed for a couple minutes.
  • Add the sugar and mix again for another minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl down and then add the eggs and vanilla. Mix again until just combined.
  • In a separate medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add a bit of the flour mix into the cream cheese mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Continue until flour is all mixed in. Careful not to over mix.
  • Roll about 1-2 Tablespoons of dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Place balls about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until the tops of the cookies just start to get golden brown.
  • Let the cookies set on the baking sheet for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar then enjoy!
