Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop 1-inch dough balls, roll them in the cinnamon sugar, and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and slightly golden.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
To freeze, store unbaked dough balls in the freezer for up to 3 months and bake as needed.
For extra softness, slightly underbake the cookies and let them finish setting on the pan.
