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.
