Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  6. Portion dough into balls, roll in graham cracker crumbs, place on baking sheet, and flatten slightly.
  7. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
  8. Prepare frosting: beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
