How To Make Almond Cream Cheese Cookies
This cookie recipe starts by putting the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer with the sugar. Cream those together for about 5 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg and almond extract and mix again until combined.

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until combined.

Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixer while it’s on low. Once combined, cover the dough for the cream cheese almond cookies and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to let the dough chill and firm up.

After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven and put some parchment paper on a baking sheet. Scoop the dough out, just a little smaller than a golf ball, and roll in your hands until it’s smooth and round. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet, keeping the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Bake until the edges of the cookies just start to brown. Let them cool before icing them

How To Store These Cookies
You will want to store the cookies in an airtight container. They can stay at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
