Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s always a good idea to get that oven warmed up so you can enjoy the cookies fresh out the oven when they’re ready! In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until they are light and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then beat for another couple of minutes until everything is well combined. This fluffy mixture will be the base of our delightful cookies!
