You will want to scrap the bowl and mix one last time. Next, scoop the cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. You just want the cookies to be set. If you touch the top, your finger should not leave an impression. They will feel firm, but do not try to brown the cookies. You want them to be soft after they cool.
You will need to make a cream cheese icing for these which is very simple
cream cheese 1 1/2 lbs.
butter, unsalted 12 oz.
powdered sugar 3 lbs.
vanilla 1 tbsp.
- mix the cream cheese and butter until very soft and free of lumps. Add the sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Pipe the icing on the cooled cookies using a pastry bag and a medium sized star tip. These are the finished cookies. Enjoy!
