Additional Information
Step 1
In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

In large bowl, beat 1 cup of butter, cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, blending well after each addition. Dough will be soft and slightly elastic. Form dough into 2 squares, about 1 in. thick. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
