Directions:For the cinnamon sugar: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon, stirring until equally blended, set aside.
For the cookies: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the unsalted butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low, add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add into the mixer and mix just until incorporated.
Use a 1 1/2 ounce scoop (about 1/4 cup) to portion the dough and gently press the tops of each cookie dough ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom edge of the cookie is slightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. |
