Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line my baking sheets with parchment paper. This little step helps the cookies bake evenly and prevents sticking. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the softened butter and cream cheese, blending them together until smooth and fluffy—I just love watching it transform! Then, I mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until everything is well combined. The sweetness is so inviting here, and the creamy texture of the mixture is hard to resist.
