Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 3-5 days. Consider freezing the cookies without frosting and add the cream cheese frosting just before serving. Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for smooth frosting. For extra flavor, try adding a splash of lemon juice to the frosting.
