  • 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Egg

  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions

  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer or using a stand mixer, mix the Hiland butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a little at a time and mix after each addition until smooth. Then add the egg, baking powder, vanilla and pinch of salt. Mix again. 
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and then add the flour a bit at a time, mixing after each addition until all combined. 
  • Either cover the bowl or scoop dough into parchment or saran wrap and cover. Place in the fridge for at least an hour to chill. 
  • Once chilled, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl.
  • Scoop the dough and roll into balls about 1 Tablespoon size. Roll into a ball and roll in the cinnamon sugar to coat. 
  • Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet (prep with a silicone mat or nonstick spray). Place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
