EASY CREAM CHEESE COOKIES

Steps:

• Start off by adding 1/2 cup unsalted softened butter and 4 ounces softened cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric half mixer to cream them together really well.
• Now mix in 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar and mix it at low speed.
• Then add, 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix it in.
• Now sift in 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Mix the dry ingredients well. Now scoop out the cookie dough using a medium-sized cookie scoop.
• Then use your hands to round the dough into balls.
• Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes. Make sure to bake on the center rack.
• Once the cookies are cooled, dust them with a little bit of powdered sugar, and enjoy!

OH MY GOODNESS COOKIES!

Steps:

• Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl - blend well.
• Mix eggs, butter, peanut butter, vanilla together and beat until smooth and well blended.
• Add wet to dry and mix well. This will be rather stiff since there's so much to go together - so use a good wooden spoon!
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Using an ice cream scooper - line up 6 to 12 scoops of dough onto the pan and pat down a bit. [I used smaller baking sheets, so I got 6 to a pan] These are BIG cookies. [You can make smaller ones, but we wanted bakery sized cookies!]
• Place in oven - and after about 10 minutes, switch the pans around to get a more even bake. All together - these large cookies take about 20 minutes to bake so that you get the centers done.
• Remove pans from oven and let the cookies rest on the pans for about 5 minutes so that they can firm up.
• Remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling - as you move them from the pan to the rack, they may start to tear a bit if you didn't let them firm up on the pan - NO WORRIES - just push them back together and they'll finish cooling well.
• This makes 2 dozen large, bakery sized cookies. To store - place in a lidded container or a cookie jar.
