Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

• What you need:
• 
  
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup softened cream cheese
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

You can add frosting after they are cooled.  You can stick some M&Ms in the cookies while still warm.  I've also used the cookies for Snickerdoodles..roll the cookie balls in a sugar/cinnamon mixture and flatten with fingers before baking.  The best part is watching the kids munch on cookies that they love!
