Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies

​

2 ozs cream cheese

6 Tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened

1/4 Cup plus 1 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar

3/4 Cup White Sugar

1 Egg

1/2 Teaspoon vanilla

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 3/4 Cup Flour

15 drops of YL Lemon Essential Oil, to taste 

 

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Cream the butter, cream cheese and sugars together until smooth. Add the essential oil drops, vanilla and eggs and mix again. 

In a separate bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients so they can become well incorporated into the dough. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Scoop cookies onto a baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes, remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar.

The amount of oil that you use will determine how lemony the cookies are, but remember that the dough will be stronger than the baked cookies.
