Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add both granulated and brown sugar, beating until fluffy.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

          Mix Together: Gradually add the dry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, combining until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

            Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.

              Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

                Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each for spreading.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

                    Cool Down: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your delicious Cinnamon Cream Cheese Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy the delightful flavors!
