Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, cream, vanilla and 1/2 tsp cinnamon until light and fluffy.
  3. In a small bowl mix together flour and baking powder.
  4. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet until well mixed.
  5. Blend together 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon on a small plate.
  6. Drop 1 inch balls of dough 3 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Flatten the cookie balls with the bottom of a drinking glass that has been dipped into the sugar & cinnamon mixture.
  7. Bake 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet immediately and set on wire racks. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings while still warm.
