Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, a little at a time, mixing on low speed until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into small finger-like shapes, about 3 inches long and ½ inch thick.
Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each cookie.
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.
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.
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
