Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1 cup butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 and ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ cup butter (salted or unsalted, at room temperature)
  • 2 and ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • food coloring (optional)
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Add butter and cream cheese to the bowl of your electric mixer. Beat until smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape the side. Add the sugar and mix until combined.
  • Stop the mixer and scrape the sides again before adding the egg and the vanilla. Mix well after the addition. Next, add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
  • Spread the dough evenly in the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes. I baked mine for 18 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.
