Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pink sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cream the butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dough balls about 2.5 tablespoons (approximately 45 grams) each and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle each dough ball generously with pink sanding sugar.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter and cream cheese for best creaming results. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies tender. Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are still soft to maintain creamy texture. Chilling dough for 15-20 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and keeps cookies thick. Pink sanding sugar adds a subtle crunch and sparkle but can be substituted or omitted.
