Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
Position a rack in the upper and lower third of the oven and heat to 350 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment.
- 3
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
- 4
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- 5
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- 6
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time until well combined, occasionally scraping down the bowl if necessary.
- 7
Scoop the cookies onto the prepared baking trays with a small cookie scoop (1 tablespoon), leaving about 1 1/2-inches between each. (You will have to bake the cookies in batches since not all the dough will fit onto 2 sheets.)
- 8
Bake until the edges begin to brown slightly, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
