Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Add the softened butter, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
