How to Make Sugar Cookies With Mexican Flair
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two cookie sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small shallow dish, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Dip the bottom of a glass into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and gently flatten each cookie ball.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 15 minutes).
- Remove cookies from the cookie sheets immediately and let them cool completely on wire racks.
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings while the cookies are still warm.
- Enjoy your delicious Mexican-inspired sugar cookies!
