Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 113 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 225 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Powdered sugar (for rolling the cookies)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, another 2 minutes.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure a smooth batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
After chilling, use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each portion into a ball.
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have a crinkled appearance. They should still remain soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Oowey Gooey Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
