Cream Cheese Snickerdoodle
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened to squishiness
- 4 oz cream cheese also softened
- 1 cup sugar masquerading as happiness
- 1 big ol’ egg
- 1 tsp vanilla for a touch of magic
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking power-up
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup sugar for rolling the fun
- 1 tbso cinnamon to coat things wildly
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a cosy 350°F (175°C), and prepare those baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a big bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese with your trusty mixer until they’re creamy and friendly.
- Add the sugar and beat it like nobody’s watching until the mix is fluffy like a cloud.
- Toss in the egg and vanilla extract and give it more mix-love.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt; let them get to know each other.
- Gradually introduce the dry friends to the cream cheese party, mixing until everyone’s having fun.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes—just enough time to dream about cookies.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl—time for a sugary cinnamon ball!
- Roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball and give it a cinnamon-sugar coat—like a cookie in a snazzy sweater.
- Place those balls on the prepared baking sheets and flatten them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes; wait until the cookies’ edges are just a shade of golden sunshine.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to chill out thoroughly.
