How to Make Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar and powdered sugar, creaming until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
