3. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat together on medium-high speed the softened butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Instructions

4. Add in egg and beat to combine. Scrap down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla extract.

Instructions

5. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture, until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.
