Ingredients




1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
1- 8oz pkg light cream cheese
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Red & Green sugar sprinkles

Preparation

1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 2 Using a hand mixer, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar together until well combined and smooth. 3 Add the eggs and vanilla and again mix until combined, 30-45 seconds. 4 In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. 5 With the mixer on low, slowly combine the dry mix into the wet mix until just incorporated (do not over mix). 6 Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll into balls. Roll into the mixed sugar sprinkles, slightly press down on the cookie and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the dough. 7 Bake for 12-14 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack. Makes approx 46 cookies.

About

Ok, I think these may have just made it onto my top 10 cookie loving list! My brother makes fun of me because I like a “cake-like” cookie but its true! I love a cookie that has a slight crunch on the outside but is soft and tender inside. These have great flavor and are wonderfully festive with red & green sugar sprinkles! These are a perfect addition to your Christmas cookie platter!
