Ingredients

  • ounces cream cheese softened
  • cup flour all-purpose
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • cup sugar 
  • tablespoons butter unsalted at room temperature

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • blender
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Using a standing mixer or hand beaters, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in the flour and salt, just until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl and give it a quick stir with a spoon to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with parchment, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each cookie (they will spread a little).
  4. Bake for about 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Do not over-bake, or the cookies won't be chewy! Cool slight on the cookie sheet, and then remove the cookies with a spatula and let them finish cooling on a rack.
