Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s always exciting to get that oven warming up! In a large mixing bowl, I combined the softened cream cheese and butter, beating them together until the mixture was creamy and smooth. The sweet and slightly tangy aroma is heavenly! Next, I added both granulated and brown sugars, letting it all blend seamlessly. This step is followed by throwing in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined. The mixture should look fluffy and inviting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
