Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mix room temperature cream cheese and creamy peanut butter in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer until smooth (2-3 minutes).
  2. Gradually sift in powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated (1-2 minutes) to form a thick dough.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat to form about 20 uniform balls.
  4. Place balls on a parchment-lined sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes until firm.
