Preparation

Step 1

Heat your oven to 375 degrees and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place butter and cream cheese in your mixer bowl and beat for 1 minute.
Beat in the sugar and baking powder.


Add the egg and vanilla and 'Beat Until Fluffy.'

Beat in the flour. Chill for 30 minutes for drop/roll cookies, one hour for cut-out cookies.

Scoop by rounded teaspoon full and dredge drop cookies (roll balled cookies) in superfine sugar.

Bake for 7 minutes. Cool for 1 minute on cookie sheet then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

You'll get no less than 2 dozen dropped or rolled cookies out of this dough.

The yield on cut-outs will depend on how big the shapes are (baking time remains the same). I make these cut-outs about 1/4 inch thick.
