Honey Cream Cheese Biscuits






Honey Cream Cheese Cookies are super easy to make, full of cheese goodness and amazing taste! You'll want to make these cheese cookies over and over!

Ingredients

For the biscuits
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, cold
  • 2 3/4 cups (358 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, cold

Honey butter
  • 1/3 cup (113 grams) honey
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir with a whisk. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter and cream cheese into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Add the buttermilk to the flour until well blended. (The dough may appear slightly dry.)

Turn the dough over on a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough collects. (Handle the dough as little as possible.)

Roll the dough in an 8 inch circle. Cut the dough using a 2 inch circular cookie cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently roll up the remaining dough to cut more cookies if necessary.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with melted honey butter and cook for another 5 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm.

For honey butter

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey until well blended. Happy Cooking Time.
