Notes
- Let your butter and cream cheese hang out at room temp before you start. It’s so much easier to cream them together, and that’s the secret to soft, fluffy cookies.
- Once you toss in the flour, don’t go crazy mixing. A quick mix does the job and keeps the cookies nice and tender instead of heavy.
- Grab a silicone baking mat or some parchment paper for your baking sheet. No sticking, no burnt bottoms, just perfectly baked cookies every time.
