Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (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 mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt to combine.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix the dough.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to gently press down on the center of each dough ball to flatten slightly. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft (do not let them brown).
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
