Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter using an electric mixer. This step is crucial, so make sure to blend everything until the mixture is light and fluffy. The sweet aroma that fills the kitchen is simply irresistible!
