Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get rolling with these cookies! First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, I beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. It’s important to make sure both ingredients are at room temperature—this gives the cookies a lovely creamy texture. Next, I add in the granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and deliciously sweet. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
