This sounds like a recipe built for my wife and myself...We love the cream cheese.  A couple of questions though.  Salted or Unsalted butter?  What type of flour?  Do you use All-Purpose or Self-Rising?  Do you need to cream the butter and sugar before adding the other ingredients?

Thank you for the help.

Being the great cook that I am, I can answer this... :)))    I have never used unsalted butter because it doesn't have preservatives and doesn't last long. Use all purpose flour and combine butter and cream cheese before adding sugar.

:,  You can bet everyone here didn't know I could answer that.  :))

Do I need to ask what I'm considered in the first world?

These sound amazing!  Can't wait to try them.  I bet they should be stored in the fridge, right?

We have all the stuff to make these, but I'm wondering, does the cream cheese and butter need to be at room temp?  Do you mix all the wet ingredients then add the dry?
Thanks
