Pillowy soft cream cheese cookies that melt in your mouth!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened ((1 stick))
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cup cake flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cream together butter and cream cheese with electric mixer. 

  2. 2

    Add sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add egg and beat to combine. Add extracts and beat until combined. Add in baking powder and cake flour (in three sections), mixing to combine. 

  3. 3

    Once incorporated, refrigerate dough for at least an hour.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dough is sticky so use flour on your hands to roll out 1-2 inch balls. You can use the bottom of a cup/glass dipped in flour to gently flatten the balls. Don't flatten too much or the cookies won't puff up. 

  5. 5

    Bake for 9-11 minutes. Important: Pull them out when you see the underside edges turning golden! This might vary for your oven and altitude. Watch these cookies carefully.
