Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add both sugars and mix until fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
