Description

These Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dream Cookies are soft, buttery, and packed with a warm cinnamon flavor. The cream cheese gives them a slightly tangy richness that makes them utterly irresistible!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

  1. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Egg and Vanilla:
    • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Chill the Dough:
    • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).

Bake the Cookies:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  3. Form and Coat Cookies:
    • Roll tablespoons of chilled dough into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Bake:
    • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  5. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For extra indulgence, drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the dough for a deeper spice profile.
