Mostly Organic Cinnamon-Spiked Cheese Cake Cookies
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 c. organic whole wheat flour
- 1⁄3 cup organic cane sugar
- 1⁄3 cup organic butter
- 1⁄8 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Reserve ½ cup. Press the remainder into an oiled 8X8 inch-baking pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Filling
- 8 oz. softened organic cream cheese
- 4 Tbsp honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 large organic egg
- 2 Tbsp. organic milk
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1⁄2 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Beat the softened cream cheese with the honey. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to beat well. Spread over the prepared crust. Top with the remaining crust, covering the filling evenly. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for half hour and then refrigerate until cold. Cut into 12 or 16 squares.
