Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• 1 pound mild breakfast sausage
• 1½ cup Colby-Jack cheese, grated
• 16 ounce bag frozen hash browns, thawed
• 8 ounces cream cheese, sliced and softened
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Drizzle melted butter into the flour mixture while the mixer is running to form a crumbled mixture.
• Add grated cheese, sausage, hash browns, and cream cheese then beat until fully mixed. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula and beat a bit longer to make sure all the flour from the bottom of the bowl has been incorporated.
• Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop balls of the mixture. Place scoops 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets. You can roll the balls in your hands to make them more smooth and compact, but this isn’t necessary.

Notes

• Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula and beat a bit longer to make sure that all the flour gets mixed in.
