<h3> Ingredients:</h3>

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup cream cheese, softened

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

<h3> Instructions:</h3>

<b> 1.Preheat Oven:</b> Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

<b> 2.Mix Wet Ingredients:</b> In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the softened cream cheese and continue to mix until smooth.

<b> 3.Combine Dry Ingredients:</b> In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

<b> 4.Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:</b> Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending on low speed until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

<b> 5.Shape Cookies:</b> Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.

<b> 6.Bake:</b> Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.

<b> 7.Cool and Dust:</b> Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
