Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I always begin with gathering all my ingredients to keep the workflow smooth and pleasant. In a large mixing bowl, I cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes with my electric mixer. This combination creates that wonderfully rich base that you’ll love. Once combined, I gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar until everything is well incorporated. It’s so satisfying to see the mixture come together! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
