Soft, pillowy cookies infused with warm cinnamon and the rich tang of cream cheese. These Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies are tender inside, lightly crisp outside, and irresistibly comforting.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For rolling: 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the rolling sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and tops are set.
  10. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • If dough is too soft, chill for 15–20 minutes before baking.
  • Do not overbake—remove cookies when edges are just golden for a soft center.
  • Store cookies with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
