Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
