How to Make Cream Cheese Spice Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 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!
