Notes

If you're going to make these ahead of time (which I would definitely suggest!) I would advise taking them out of the fridge about an hour before you want to bake them to allow them to come to room temperature, so no extra baking time will be required!
Vegan? A reader said they had success with using vegan butter, cream cheese, and sour cream! I can't personally vouch for the results, but I'm sure it'd be wonderful! :)
