Ingredients

4 ounces - cream cheese
½ cup - unsalted butter
1 cup - granulated sugar
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1 - egg
1 ⅔ cups - flour
pinch - sea salt
½ tsp - baking powder

Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese and butter. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely creamy. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl.
Then, add in sugar. Stir until fluffy.
Add in vanilla extract and egg. Stir to combine.
Then, add in flour, sea salt and baking powder. Stir until combined.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Since these cookies do not spread much while baking, feel free to press down slightly for a less thick cookie. Otherwise, place pan in oven.
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges are just barely golden.
Finally, remove pan from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing.
