Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (4 oz or 1 stick)
- 3/4 cups white sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1– 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice and zest
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- For the Crust: Grease a mini-muffin tin, set aside. Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix until smooth and fluffy.
Add the flour, baking soda & powder to a small bowl, stir together and then add to the butter mixture.
Mix until well combined (dough may seem crumbly.)
Use a small cookie scoop to portion 1 1/2 inch balls of dough, and use your hands to roll them into a smooth ball. (I found the dough seemed dry until I rolled each scoop by hand.)
Portion a dough ball into each of the wells of your pan, and press down slightly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow to cool before removing from the pan.
