Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 113 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, mixing on low speed until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 6
Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into small finger-like shapes, about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick.
Step 7
Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown. The tops should remain pale.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
