Viewed: 40 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 pound confectioners sugar, sifted
Method
- Heat the oven to 350.
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray evenly with baking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Put the granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy.
- Add 1 of the eggs and beat until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and milk and beat on low speed until the dough just comes together and is smooth.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and use your fingers to press it evenly into the bottom.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy; add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time, beating well after each, until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the confectioners sugar and beat on low speed until smooth (if a few lumps remain here and there, its okay; they wont matter in the finished product).
- Pour the mixture over the dough in the baking dish and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
- Let cool completely, then cut into about 16 small squares (you want to keep these rich bites smalltrust me).
