Cream Cheese Cookies (protein)
Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 stick butter, melted
Filling:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla or almond extract
*Fresh berries and mint leaves, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, and butter in bowl. Press dough into an un-greased 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
For filling, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together in a bowl until smooth, using handheld electric mixer; add eggs and extract; beat well. Pour over crust. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into squares before serving. Decorate tops with berries and mint leaves.
Photo style of cookie: If you want these like the photo roll them into ball sized then flattened. With a pestle or large spoon flatten down the centers. Do not make the dent all the way through or they will leak. Fill in with sweeten fruit to taste; add to thicken some corn starch; afterwards, spoon in fruit mixture and bake. Or, if using raspberry i.e. jam you may prefer not to bake afterwards.
