Ingredients

1 (8 oz.)  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

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Powdered sugar, for dusting cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

 

6. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar then enjoy!
