I can never resist trying a new cookie recipe, but today’s treat was an absolutely no-brainer, must-try treat for me. Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies—two of my favorite ingredients in one cute little cookie.

How To Make Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies

1. In a large bowl, combine butter and cream cheese and beat until light and smooth. Mix in powdered sugar until fully combined.
2. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
3. In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
4. Cover the bowl and chill dough in the fridge for a minimum of 60 minutes.
5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7. Scoop and roll dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter, then roll all sides in the cinnamon mixture.
8. Arrange on the baking sheet a couple of inches apart (as they will spread).
