Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar to the butter-cream cheese mixture and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk, beating well until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking, as the cookies should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
