Directions

Makes: 20
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

• Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and beat at high speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add sugar, egg and vanilla. Mix on high speed for a minute. Scrape down bowl and briefly mix again.
• Add flour, baking powder, salt and cornstarch and mix on low speed to incorporate, scraping down sides one more time. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
• Use a soup spoon to scoop out one-inch balls of dough. Roll them in your hands to eliminate any cracks.
• Place crumbs in a bowl. Toss each ball in the crumbs and place on baking sheet. Bake for nine to 10 minutes.

Use wet hands to shape the cookies into balls for a soft, slightly tacky dough the crumbs will stick to. These cookies may seem a bit undercooked after baking, but they will continue to cook as they cool. They will be crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
