Ingredients
- 226 grams Cream Cheese
- 113 grams Unsalted Butter
- 150 grams Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 250 grams All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 100 grams Mixed Nuts (finely chopped)
- 30 grams Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue mixing until fully combined and light in texture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
Fold the finely chopped mixed nuts into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft and slightly puffed.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a cheesecake-like finish.
