🧾 Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream the butter and cream cheese:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add sugar, egg, and vanilla:
Add the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined and fluffy.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the cookies:
Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten the cookies:
Gently flatten each cookie ball with the bottom of a glass or your hand, making them about ½ inch thick.
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overbake.
Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍽 Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy these cookies with a cold glass of milk or a cup of tea for the ultimate treat! 🥛🍪
