Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 112kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese *use the bar, not the tub
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar + extra for rolling
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3.4 oz box cheesecake pudding mix *just the mix!
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and then add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the flour, powdered sugar, cheesecake pudding mix powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together. The dough will be very soft and sticky.
  • Scoop the cookie dough using a #40 scoop (1 1/2 tbsp of dough) and then roll the dough in granulated sugar before arranging on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Once all of the cookie dough has been prepped, use the bottom of a drinking glass the press the cookies flat. The cookies will not spread or flatten at all when baked, they will puff up slightly.
  • Bake at 350° F for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will puff up and begin to crack when they are supposed to come out of the oven.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan and then chill before serving, if desired. (I like them best chilled!)
