Soft and Chewy Sugar Cookies

0 Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
1 Add the butter, cream cheese, and sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for about one minute, until fluffy and fully combined.
2 Add the vanilla extract and egg to the bowl with the butter and sugar and mix for about 30 seconds, until fully incorporated, then add in the flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing constantly, until the dough is formed.
3 Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour, up to overnight.
4 Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
5 Scoop out the dough by the heaping tablespoon and roll into a ball, then roll each ball in sugar and place 12 dough balls on the baking sheet.
6 Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and just started to brown, then remove from the oven and let cool.
