Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 2 lb farmers cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 cups flour (depending on the brand you may need less or more flour)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg topping
- 1/2 cup sugar topping
Instructions
- For the filling, mix together the cream cheese, farmers cheese, egg, and sugar in a bowl.

- In a bowl, combine the butter, eggs, and sugar. Whisk it together until well combined.

- Continue adding a few cups of flour into the mixture, until it is combined into a dough.

- Place the cheese filling on half of the dough circles and fold the dough over, covering the cheese filling.
- Whisk the egg in a bowl. Use it to brush the cookie tops and sprinkle them with sugar.
- Bake it at 400°F, for about 15 minutes or until the cookies are crispy.
