- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) salted butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (282 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (63 g) confectioners' sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar, for rolling cookie dough in
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar until blended.
Add in egg and vanilla.
Add in flour, baking powder, and ½ cup confectioners' sugar. With the mixer on low, gradually beat into creamed mixture.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough and then roll in confectioners’ sugar. Place approximately 6 dough balls on the lined baking sheets.
Bake until they no longer appear wet on top, 8-11 minutes. After about 5 minutes, place on wire racks to cool.
