Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue mixing until fully combined and light in texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Fold the finely chopped mixed nuts into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft and slightly puffed.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a cheesecake-like finish.
