Ingredients

  • 110 g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 110 g cream cheese at room temperature
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 175 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 355F (180C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
  • Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix just until well combined.
