-

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy.

Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
6. Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Add Mix-Ins – Try chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or crushed Oreos.
