A soft, chewy, and flavorful sugar cookie. It is very important to chill the dough, as it is too sticky to roll unless well chilled.

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE



Almond Butter Cookies with Cream Cheese image

I have had this recipe for so long that I can't remember where it came from, but I think I got it out of a magazine or newspaper. I like it because you can use the dough in so many different ways. For the Holidays, you can press half of a candied cherry in the center of unbaked cookie, and then after baking drizzle with either white or dark chocolate, melted.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream sugar, butter, cream cheese until fluffy.
  • Add egg and flavorings.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Add flour and baking powder, mixing well.
  • Drop dough by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten with a flat bottomed drinking glass which has been dipped in sugar.
  • OR: Force dough through a cookie press.
  • OR: Chill dough 1 to 1 1/2 hours and roll out on lightly floured surface.
  • Cut with cookie cutters.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or slightly less if you like a not-so-crispy cookie.
  • These cookies are best if they are not baked too brown.

Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to weigh ingredients whenever possible, as this is the most accurate way to measure.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will be. Look for almond butter made with 100% almonds and cream cheese that is full-fat.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.

Conclusion:

These almond butter cookies with cream cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free, making them a healthier alternative to traditional cookies. The cookies are soft and chewy with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the almond butter cookies, adding a touch of richness and creaminess.
