Recipe type: Cookie, dessert
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
  • ½ lb butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ¼ c sugar (1/2 for sweeter cookies)
  • 1 Tb vanilla or the caviar from one bean
  • 2 c flour (I used half ap half ww)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp apple pie spice
  • addins- currants, nuts, chips all optional but this would be a boring teacake without them :)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 (bake 15-20)
  2. Cream the butter, cheese and sugar together with the vanilla until combines, mix in the spices, then in another bowl, combine the dry ingredients then add to wet and just combine.
  3. roll into logs in plastic wrap or parchment then chill 2 hours to overnight. cut into coins ( I cut mine ½ inch) then bake on parchment 15-20 minutes. If you cut them thinner, this drastically cuts down on the time to be sure to watch the oven if you make them Very thin!
  4. Enjoy!
