Ingredients
1
Whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth. Add the butter and beat until it's fully combined. Add in the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and continue to beat until the cookie dough comes together. Cover and chill the dough for up to 2 hours.
2
Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it into balls that are about 1-1.5 tablespoons large between the palm of your hands. Arrange the dough on the baking sheet so there are a few inches in between each cookie.
3
With the back of a spoon or using your thumb, create an indent in the middle. At this point, put the cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill them.
4
Allow the cookies to cool on a rack. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
