Step 1

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth and well-combined.

Step 2

Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

With electric mixer on low-speed, gradually stir dry ingredients into butter/cream cheese mixture until completely combined.

Step 5

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.

Step 7

Once dough has chilled, scoop by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized ball and roll between your palms until smooth. Roll through powdered sugar until completely coated and then place on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart.

Step 8

Bake on 350F (175C) in center rack for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
