Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over each rectangle.
- Roll each piece of dough tightly into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Baking
- Slice the chilled dough into ½-inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze made by mixing the powdered sugar with a small amount of water or milk until smooth.
