Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This gets your baking sheet ready for the cookie parade.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl for coating.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized pieces of dough, roll into balls, and coat each in cinnamon sugar.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet with 2 inches spacing.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze dough balls for later baking.
