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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure a smooth batter.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Step 8

After chilling, use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 9

Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.

Step 10

Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your Oowey Gooey Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
