Equipment

- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Softened to room temperature
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
- 1.5 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg At room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3.25 cups All-Purpose Flour Measured and leveled
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and softened cream cheese until creamy and completely smooth. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar to the butter-cream cheese mixture. Beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix in the large egg and the vanilla extract. Beat just until combined, scraping the bowl down as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed and stopping as soon as a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Scoop portions of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each for standard cookies) and roll into balls with your hands.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press each gently with a fork or the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
