These are basically classic soft sugar cookies dressed up in sparkly sugar sprinkles. Colored sugar looks adorably festive and give the cookies irresistible crunch on the outside. Crunchy outside makes perfect contrast to the soft center.

These cookies are made with classic cookie ingredients: butter, sugar, egg, and flour. But I added a couple of ounces of cream cheese.

How to Make Easter Blossom Cookies 

First, combine the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder and salt).

Next, cream the wet ingredients together: butter, cream cheese, vanilla and almond extract, sugar and egg.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. The dough will be thick but chill the cookie dough anyway. However, this cookie dough doesn’t need to chill in the refrigerator very long, only an hour.

Roll about 1 Tablespoon of cookie dough into balls. Then roll the cookie dough balls into sanding sugar (sugar sprinkles) to make them sparkle! Place them onto a baking sheet. Press down on the sugar cookie balls before baking with the back of a measuring cup.

Bake them for about 11-12 minutes. Let them cool a few minutes, then press chocolate candy in the center of each cookie.

Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Whisk dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, and salt together until combined, then set aside.
2. In a large bowl beat the butter and cream cheese together on high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and beat until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. The dough will be thick. Cover dough and chill for an hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
5. Pour sanding sugars in small bowls.
6. Roll 1 Tablespoon of dough into balls, then roll each ball in the sanding sugar to coat. Arrange them onto the baking sheet leaving 2 inches space apart. Using the back of a measuring cup or a glass, gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten. Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 3-4 minutes. Press a chocolate candy into each cookie. Transfer on a rack to cool completely.
