For best results, ensure your butter and cream cheese are properly softened before creaming together. If your dough is too soft to press easily, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. For a richer flavor, try using brown butter! Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant. Let it cool slightly before using in the recipe.
