Instructions

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in medium bowl; set aside.
  • Place 1 1/2 cups sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl. Place remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a shallow dish and set aside. Pour melted butter over sugar and cream cheese and whisk to combine (some small lumps of cream cheese will remain but will smooth out later). Whisk in oil until incorporated. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until soft, homogeneous dough forms.
  • Divide dough into 24 equal pieces, about 2 tablespoons each. Using your hands, roll dough into balls. Working in batches, roll balls in reserved sugar to coat and evenly space on prepared sheets, 12 balls per sheet.
    Roll the dough into granulated sugar.
  • Using the bottom of a drinking glass, flatten balls to 2 inches in diameter.

  • Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time until edges are set and just beginning to brown, 11 to 13 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Let cookies cool completely before serving.
    Bake the cookies.
  • Melt the candy coating as per the package instructions. Spoon the melted chocolate over half of each cookie and top with sprinkles. Place cookies on parchment or wax paper to completely dry, about 2 hours.
