Ingredients
  • 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Lightly salted butter, softened

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and salted butter together until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
