Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and continue beating until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
- Add the egg to the bowl and beat it in until fully combined with the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Once the dough comes together, take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the tops of the cookies for a light dusting.
- Serve and enjoy your New York Cheesecake Cookies!
Notes
- Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
