Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
