Serving size: 28 Cookies
Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins

Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g, room temperature )
4 ounces cream cheese (113g, room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
1 egg (room temperature)
2 tsp vanilla extract (10mL)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (210g)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Directions
1. Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.

2. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese together. Add the sugar in and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla in and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl down and mix one more time to combine.

3. Add the dry mixture into the wet and mix on low until just combined. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom and give the mixture one last mix then cover and chill for at least an hour.

4. Heat oven to 375F then portion out roughly two tablespoon-sized pieces and roll into a ball. The dough will be sticky so It's best to dampen your hands a bit and just wash them when they get a bit covered. Place about two inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set and just turning golden.

Notes
Measure your flour correctly! Adding too much flour to the recipe is the most common mistake. The best, and easiest way to measure flour is by using a scale. If you dont have one then fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
Scrape the bowl down before beating the dry mixture in, you want a nice homogenous mixture without beating for too long.
These balls of dough will be sticky but worth it! Dampen your hands before rolling and take a wash-up break if they get too caked with cookie batter.
You can dust cookies with powdered sugar after baking or drizzle lightly with melted white chocolate for a bit of visual interest.
