Ok, I think these may have just made it onto my top 10 cookie loving list! My brother makes fun of me because I like a “cake-like” cookie but its true! I love a cookie that has a slight crunch on the outside but is soft and tender inside. These have great flavor and are wonderfully festive with red & green sugar sprinkles! These are a perfect addition to your Christmas cookie platter!
I really love a simple cookie, especially one that my kiddos can help me bake and these Christmas Cream Cheese Cookies are perfect for just that! Brighten up any cookie tray with these sugar coated sprinkle cookies.
