Ingredients

3 tsp. Pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup Unsalted butter, softened
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
2 1/4 tsp. Baking powder
2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour

Method

01

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
02

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. Add cream cheese and vanilla and mix until well combined.

Add the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together and is combined. Do not over mix.
04

Wrap dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
05

Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F, then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. The number of batches will depend on how large/small you want your cookies.

07

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until very lightly colored on top and around the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
08

Make the buttercream icing while the cookies cool down. You can use store-bought icing if you prefer.
