Ingredients
Biscuit Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set butter and cream cheese out to soften.
- Cream the softened butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Press a deep thumb indent into each dough ball and fill with about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
Make sure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for best texture. Avoid overfilling the centers, and let biscuits cool completely so the filling can set properly.
