Steps:
- Beat the butter and cream cheese until light, then beat in the sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add vanilla, then the flour. Form 2 discs of dough and chill at least 2 hours. Roll out fairly thick (1/4") and bake at 350º just until set, NOT brown, about 10 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. This will help prevent the edges from becoming ragged.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges, but still soft in the center. This will help prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
