Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

2 teaspoons cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions
 

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

    Cream the Cheeses: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until just combined.

          Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help it firm up.

            Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: While the dough is chilling, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for rolling the cookies.

              Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.

                Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it completely.

                  Bake: Place the coated cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

                    Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
