Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix the Butters: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

      Add the Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

          Incorporate the Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

                Coat the Cookies: Gently roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture before placing back onto the baking sheet.

                  Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft.

                    Cool and Dust: Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

                      Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes | Servings: About 18 cookies

                        - Presentation Tips: Place the cookies on a decorative plate and serve with a side of cream cheese frosting or dulce de leche for dipping. You can also sprinkle a bit more cinnamon sugar on top for an extra touch!
