Hi Doris, this isn't something we've tried, but it's certainly worth an experiment! One drawback of using this method when cream cheese is the predominant fat is that the water content of cream cheese is much higher than butter, so it may not do as good of a job of coating the flour with fat and preventing gluten development. For best results I would recommend a recipe that is mostly butter with a smaller portion of cream cheese.
