Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Hand Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth in a large bowl.
  2. Slowly add the powdered sugar until combined.
  3. Add the egg, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Mix to combine.
  4. Add the flour slowly until fully incorporated, scraping the sides as needed.
  5. Cover and place in the fridge for one hour to rest.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
  8. Roll dough into 1-inch-sized balls, which is about 2 teaspoons of dough.
  9. Roll in the bowl with the cinnamon sugar until well coated.
  10. Place on a prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 8-9 minutes, until just set. Do not overbake; the cookies will puff up but won’t get golden brown.
  12. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
