Cheesecake Cookies




We're not big dessert people, but once in a while, on Sundays, we make treats. My son wanted to choose a dessert after dinner today.

His all time favorite is cheesecake, but I didn't have anything to make a crust. I told him to look up cheesecake cookies on the internet, and he found this recipe. It's really simple, and surprisingly delicious.

Not healthy, but delicious.

We will definitely make them again though.

Here's what we used:

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cube butter, softened
1 package cream cheese, softened (we only had a half a thing of regular cream cheese, so we used that and half a container of the whipped kind. It worked just fine.)

and we also added 1 teaspoon almond extract, because that just makes everything taste better. They smelled as yummy as they tasted. They would also be amazing with chopped almonds.

Cream all the ingredients together, and that's it! We rolled them into 1 inch balls, slightly squished and baked at 375 for 14-15 minutes.

An instant hit
