Ingredients
  

1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Additional cinnamon and sugar mix for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat them together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

      Add Sugars: Gradually add both granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully combined.

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

            Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of your cookies.

              Fold in Extras: If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts.

                Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                  Sprinkle: In a small bowl, mix together additional cinnamon and sugar (about 2 tablespoons sugar to 1 teaspoon cinnamon). Lightly sprinkle this mixture over each cookie before baking.

                    Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.

                      Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                        Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dream Cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee!
