Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 sticks
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 package
- 1.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
