Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 113 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the tops remain pale. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
