Soft and chewy cream cheese cookies! These can be easily customized for the holidays!
Share:
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened (use regular, brick-style cream cheese, do not use low-fat or the spreadable kind sold in tubs)
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour¹
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Additional granulated sugar for rolling optional²
Instructions
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, cream together butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light, fluffy, and well-combined.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- With mixer on low-speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter/cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed to ensure ingredients are well-combined.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours and up to 5 days.
- Once dough has chilled and you are about ready to bake your cookies, preheat oven to 350F (175C).
- Scoop cookie dough by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoop and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Roll through granulated sugar (or other topping, if using) and place cookies 2” apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- Transfer to 350F (175C) preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.

Notes
- ¹Take care to not over-measure your flour or your cookies will be cakey. Use a scale or stir your flour, scoop it into your measuring cup, and level it. Click the “flour” link in the ingredients for more information on how to properly measure flour.
- ²I usually roll my cookies through granulated sugar, but other fun topping options are sprinkles (I love non-pareils) or a mix of ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- Place cookie dough back in the refrigerator between trays so it doesn’t become too warm. Never place cookie dough on a warm baking sheet.
