Provided by TrayH

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
3 oz. Regular Cream Cheese (room temperature)
1 1/2 Cups Confectioner's Sugar
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Egg (room temperature)
1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 3/4 Cups All - Purpose Flour

Steps:

* 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).
