Notes
Do not overmix the dough so the cookies stay soft.
Let cookies cool fully before frosting to prevent melting.
Adjust frosting consistency with a small amount of cream if needed.
Dough does not require chilling before baking.
Store frosted cookies in an airtight container.
Refrigeration helps preserve freshness because of the cream cheese frosting.
