  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies mix together smoothly.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
