Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out cookies using your favorite cookie cutters.
  8. Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

For best results, make sure your cream cheese and butter are fully softened. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
