Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 160 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 30 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and continue to mix until well combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough 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 just beginning to turn golden. The centers should remain soft and slightly puffy.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for a soft, sweet finish.
