Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese and butter. Mix on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely creamy. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl.
Then, add in sugar. Stir until fluffy.
Add in vanilla extract and egg. Stir to combine.
Then, add in flour, sea salt and baking powder. Stir until combined.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough onto lined pan. Since these cookies do not spread much while baking, feel free to press down slightly for a less thick cookie. Otherwise, place pan in oven.
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges are just barely golden.
Finally, remove pan from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing.

Notes

Make sure both cream cheese and butter are room temperature. They will not mix together if they are cold.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl as needed. The cream cheese tends to stick to the bowl.
The cookie dough is more light, fluffy and airy than traditional cookie dough.
Use an ice cream scooper to scoop balls of dough. This creates evenly sized, round cookies.
These cookies stay thick and tall. If you want more traditionally shaped cookies, gently press down on dough balls before baking.
These cookies are soft and fluffy. Be careful handling after baking.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 1 month.
