Seems to be 4 ingredients..? I'm going to guess and add a dollop of cream cheese into the mix.

"Cream" is a different verb being utilized meaning to incorporate together into a type of paste, not a new ingredient. "Continue mixing [the butter] and add in the sugar and cream [the butter and sugar into a paste] until combined.

Your recipe directions include adding sugar and cream but there's no cream listed in your ingredients list. I don't care if there are more than 3 ingredients but how much cream? 🤔 I'd guess just enough to make a good consistency of dough but my baking skills suck so it'd be easier if you just told me. TY

The cream isn’t an ingredient, it is a technique. He is saying to cream the butter and sugar together, which means to mix it until well combined. Happy Baking!
