Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Sift in the baking powder to ensure there are no lumps.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Add the flour mixture and mix just until the dough comes together.

Transfer the dough to a very lightly floured counter and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator until slightly firm, but not hard, 15 to 20 minutes.

To use for two pies, lightly coat two 9-inch tart or pie pans with nonstick cooking spray.

Divide the dough in half and form each half into a ball. Roll each ball of dough into a disc just larger than the circumference of the pans. Line each pan with dough, taking care to trim off the excess. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To use for a double-crust pie, spray only one 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a ball. Roll one ball of dough into a disk just larger than the circumference of the pan. Line the pan with dough and fill as directed in the recipe. Roll out the second ball of dough into a 10-inch round and place it on top of the pie. Crimp and cut the dough as directed in the recipe.
