Ingredients:  
Ingredients:

½ C butter room temperature
1 ¼ C granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
2 ½ C all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
½ t salt
Powdered Sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Beat cream cheese and butter together at high speed until fluffy and smooth; 1-2 minutes. Add sugar to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated and fluffy; 1-2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla; 1 minute.
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir just until incorporated. Do not over-mix.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart; batter will be sticky. *You can put the batter in the fridge for 10-20 minutes to help it firm up a bit.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-11 minutes. Cookies should be light in color, not browned, and just starting to brown on the bottom. *Length of baking time may vary from oven to oven.
Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip in chocolate once cooled.
NOTES
The vanilla smooths out the flavor, but for a more tart, cheesy flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or no extracts at all.
Do not over bake. This can cause the cookies to come out more dry and biscuit like.
