Step-by-Step Instructions
First, in a large mixing bowl, I start by creaming together the softened butter and cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth. It takes a few minutes, and you can smell the buttery goodness filling the room. Once well combined, I gradually add in the granulated and brown sugars. Mixing until fluffy is the key, as this helps to create a light texture in the cookies. I then mix in the vanilla extract to make everything extra special. **(See the next page below to continue steps…)**
