Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cookies ~ Delicious & Chewy Cookies

The secret to getting them too soft is really two things.  Number one is the addition of cream cheese and the second is not over baking the cookies.  One more thing is I used Kerrygold Irish Butter and I really think it is wonderful butter for baking! 

Ingredients Needed:

  • cream cheese, softened
  • Kerrygold Butter, softened
  • peanut butter
  • sugar
  • brown sugar
  • eggs
  • vanilla extract
  • all purpose flour
  • baking soda
  • sugar for rolling

How To Make:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and peanut butter together until smooth.  

With the mixer on low, add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined.  

Add vanilla, 1/2 cup sugar and brown sugar, beating until all incorporated.  

Add flour and baking soda and mix until combined.

Add 1/3 cup sugar to a small bowl.  

Scoop cookie dough into rounds and roll in sugar.  

Place on a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  

Smash cookie dough balls cross-wise with a large tined fork.  

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies just start to brown.  

Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheets and then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Store in an air-tight container.
