How to Make Cream Cheese Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 8 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 orange until just incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
