Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar (plus more for rolling the dough in)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature and cubed
  • 6 Tablespoons butter (melted and warm)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon whole milk

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, if you don't have parchment paper, lightly oil the baking sheet.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.. Set aside.
  • Place the sugar in a medium bowl. Place the cream cheese on top and pour the melted, warm butter over the top. Whisk to combine. There may be a few lumps of cream cheese that remain but they'll be incorporated when other ingredients are mixed in.
  • Whisk the oil in until well incorporated.. Stir in the egg, vanilla, and milk.
  • Add the flour mixture and fold it in until a smooth dough forms.
  • Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into 24 balls. Roll each ball into the extra sugar. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a flat drinking glass, slightly flatten each cookie until they are 2 inches in diameter.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, turning the pan halfway through baking. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
