Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F. Using a stand mixer or an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream the the sugar, butter, and cream cheese for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. 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 combined.
Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about 1½ inches between each (they will spread a little). Bake for about 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Do not overbake, or the cookies won’t be chewy! Let cool slightly on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
