Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line my cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and cream cheese using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. The smell of the butter and cream cheese blending together is simply divine! Next, I add in the powdered sugar, and continue beating until it’s fully incorporated and smooth. This step creates the perfect base for my cookies. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
