Coffee Cream Cheese Cookies

I made these on a whim and a prayer.
Never made a coffee flavored cookie.
Never made a cookie with cream cheese.
These cookies don't spread out much.
They have just a hint of coffee flavor.
I had 24 cookies on one baking sheet.
Then pressed the rest of the dough
into the bottom of a glass baking dish,
that's going to be the base for a cheesecake.

Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons instant coffee
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a mixing bowl cream together
the butter, sugar and cheese.
Whip for a good 2 minutes before
adding egg, vanilla and coffee.
whip real good the lower speed
and add flour and baking powder.
Whip just to combine flour.
Roll dough to make walnut sized balls.
place on baking sheet 2" apart.
Use a fork to flatten the dough out.
Bake for about 12 minutes or until done.
