Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla extract.

- Cool on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is softened but not melted. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for better structure.
