The holidays aren’t complete without these cream cheese cookies. These always make me think of my Mom. She is the baker in the family and definitely has the most patience when it comes to making dozens of cookies to share with our family and friends. These are always the cookies that we request first for Christmas and she always has to make a double batch because half of them usually are gone by the first night. My Dad likes to think they are “one bite” cookies.
Chilling the cookie dough for about an hour before cooking prevents the dough from spreading as the cookies bake and makes the dough easier to handle.
If prepping the cookie dough the day before baking, I recommend letting the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes so soften slightly for easier scooping and rolling.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerated for up to a week.

Adding this recipe to my cookie repertoire! These are so easy and yummy. I froze half the dough to save for later since it makes so much. So yum!!
