Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cookies

Once you try these delicious and ultra-soft cookies, you will understand that they are not typical peanut butter cookies. They are so rich and flavorful!
Adding cream cheese brings these cookies on the next level. If you like soft and moist cookies, they are a must try!

 Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: For gluten free cookies, use a good quality gluten free all-purpose flour.
  • Baking powder and soda: They help to create fluffy and soft cookies.
  • Unsalted butter: Make sure you use unsalted butter, otherwise the cookies might be way too salty because any store bought peanut butter is savory.
  • Cream cheese: Use full fat cream cheese for better results.
  • Light brown and white sugar: The recipe calls for both light and white sugar. I like to add brown sugar for denser and moister cookies.
  • Vanilla extract: It boosts the flavor.
  • Peanut butter: Both regular smooth and chunky peanut butter will work.

Description

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Cookies are a great alternative to classic peanut butter cookies. They are moist, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Packed with peanut butter and cream cheese flavours! Made with flour, peanut butter, cream cheese, light brown sugar, white sugar butter, baking powder, soda and salt. They will melt in your mouth!


Ingredients

For Cookies

  • All-purpose flour-1 ¼ cup or 150 g
  • Baking powder- 1/ 2 tsp.
  • Salt- ¼ tsp.
  • Baking soda- ½ tsp.
  • Unsalted butter- ¼ cup or  56 g
  • Cream cheese - 115 gm or 4 ounces
  • Light brown sugar- ½ cup
  • White sugar- ½ cup
  • Vanilla extract- 1 tsp.
  • Peanut butter- ¾ cup

For Decoration

  • Dark chocolate - as needed
  • Sweetened coconut ( shredded)- 1-2 tsp.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 F (175 C) with the rack in the middle. Line  2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Alternatively, you can bake cookies on the silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Keep aside.
  • In a bowl of your electrical mixer, beat butter, cream cheese, light brown sugar and white sugar on medium speed until well combined and fluffy.
  • Add in vanilla extract and peanut butter and continue beating.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until you get smooth dough.
  • Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to take the batter, form a ball and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Leave space  between cookies.
  • Press each cookie slightly with your palm and then press again using a cookie stamp or a fork. If you use a fork, dip it  in vegetable oil, it will prevent  from sticking.
  • Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool  completely before decorating.
  • Drizzle ( or decorate)  with melted chocolate and top with shredded coconut.  Decorating cookies is optional. I usually do it for my kids.
