RuntimeException: Runtime Error Could not run dbt

Question

I used dbt init to create a profiles.yml in my .dbt folder. It looks like this:

spring_project:
  outputs:
    dev:
      account: xxx.snowflakecomputing.com
      database: PROD_DWH
      password: password
      role: SYSADMIN
      schema: STG
      threads: 1
      type: snowflake
      user: MYUSERNAME
      warehouse: DEV_XS_WH
  target: dev

Now, I created a new folder on my desktop which only contains a dbt_project.yml file that has this:

profile: 'spring_project'

When I run this from my project folder:

dbt debug --config-dir

I get this:

21:48:59  Running with dbt=1.2.1
21:48:59  To view your profiles.yml file, run:

open /Users/myusername/.dbt

However, when I run dbt

dbt run --profiles-dir /Users/myusername/.dbt

I get this:

21:43:39  Encountered an error while reading the project:

dbt.exceptions.DbtProjectError: Runtime Error

Error encountered in /Users/myusername/Desktop/spring_project/dbt_project.yml

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dbt/main.py", line 129, in main
    results, succeeded = handle_and_check(args)

    raise dbt.exceptions.RuntimeException("Could not run dbt") from exc
dbt.exceptions.RuntimeException: Runtime Error
  Could not run dbt

What am I doing wrong?
