How to Make Nelson Cookie Bake Cream Cheese Snow Man Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add 15 ounces of white cake mix, mixing on low speed until just combined. Add in 1/3 of the mix at a time, ensuring it is fully incorporated before adding more.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Slightly flatten each ball to create a snowman shape.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, dust generously with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect. You can also add mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons!
