  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.

  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
