1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

1 egg (beaten)
For the glaze:
1⅓ cups powdered sugar

Take a large bowl and cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar.
Incorporate the beaten egg and vanilla extract into the mixture.
Add sour cream, ensuring a smooth blend.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Then, gradually merge these dry ingredients with the wet mixture.
