Cream Cheese Cookie Bars

I tried these cookie bars because we only had 3 eggs and most sugar cookie recipes had 4. The result was a mild tasting cookie that was very soft and moist.



1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup of butter, softened
8 oz of cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

- preheat the oven to 350 degrees

- In a bowl cream together the butter, sugar and cream cheese

- add egg and vanilla extract and mix together

- In a seperate bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt

- Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until well mixed

- Grease a 9x13 pan

- press the mixture down inside the pan and bake for 20 minutes

- dust with powdered sugar
