- ½ cup (113 g) salted butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar, divided
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets by lining them 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, cocoa powder, baking powder, and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar. With the mixer on low, gradually beat into a creamed mixture.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough and then roll in confectioners’ sugar. Place approximately 6 dough balls on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake until they no longer appear wet on top, 8-11 minutes. After about 5 minutes, place on wire racks to cool.
