Yield:
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 | Butter |
| 1 | Cream cheese |
| 1 | Sugar |
| 1 | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 | Pecans |
Instructions:
-
Cream butter and cream cheese together: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat them together until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add sugar: While continuing to beat the mixture, gradually add the sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Add flour and beat well: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, beating well after each addition. Ensure that the flour is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
-
Stir in nuts: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed. The nuts will add a delightful crunch and flavor to the cookies.
-
Shape into 1″ balls: Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place them onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Press with a glass: Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into water to prevent sticking, then gently press each cookie ball until it flattens to about 2 inches in diameter. This will give the cookies their classic round shape.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
-
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set and firm up slightly.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, these Nutty Cheesecake Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat.
With their creamy texture, nutty crunch, and irresistible flavor, these Nutty Cheesecake Cookies are sure to become a favorite in your household. Whether you’re baking them for a special occasion or simply craving a sweet indulgence, these cookies are easy to make and impossible to resist!
