Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add both sugars and mix until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
