Lay paper towels on a plate, spread the puree on top, and blot until some of the liquid is absorbed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&rsquo;t skip room temperature ingredients<\/strong>: Softened butter and cream cheese whip up smooth and creamy, while a room-temp egg blends seamlessly into the dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cool completely before frosting<\/strong>: If the cookies are even slightly warm, the cream cheese frosting will melt and slide off.
