Recipe Overview:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 18 cookies
- Category: Dessert
- Keywords: Cookie & Brownie, < 15 Mins, For Large Groups, Easy, Inexpensive
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups butter, unsalted
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This step ensures that your cookies will bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden brown texture.
-
-
Melt and Mix: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until both ingredients are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: To the melted butter and cream cheese mixture, add the Splenda sugar substitute and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the sweetener and leavening agent into the mixture.
-
Add Soymilk: Gradually mix in the vanilla-flavored soymilk, blending until the dough is smooth and well combined. The soymilk not only adds a hint of vanilla flavor but also helps achieve the desired consistency of the dough.
-
Incorporate Nuts (Optional): If you are using walnuts, fold them into the dough now. This step adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to each bite.
-
Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for even spreading during baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t overbake. They should be slightly golden around the edges but soft in the center.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
