Zubereitung von Christmas Cream Cheese Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the food coloring (if using) until the desired color is achieved. Divide the dough into smaller portions for different colors.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, decorate as desired with sprinkles, frosting, or other festive toppings.
