Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Combine cream cheese and butter in mixing bowl, beat well. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy.

Would not make this again.
Would not make again. They are dry and very crumbly and more like a cake than bars. Not a good xmas type treat to store three stars
