Perfect with a glass of milk or a steaming cup of coffee, cream cheese cookies are suitable for any occasion, be it a casual home snack or a festive dessert.

Cream Cheese Cookie FAQ
Cream Cheese Cookies are deceptively simple to make, but there are many nuances to keep in mind to achieve the phenomenal taste and crumbly texture they are famous for. Many home bakers tend to use a little too much flour which can dry out the cookies. Others might not chill their dough long enough, which may lead to flat cookies that spread too much upon baking. To get the most out of this recipe, I recommend using high-quality, full-fat cream cheese and unsalted butter. It is also important to properly cream the butter, sugar and cream cheese until they're fluffy and light. This step will enhance the texture of the cookies. Lastly, don't be afraid to experiment with flavors. Adding in things like lemon zest, nuts, or semi-sweet chocolate chips can be an exciting twist. Some little-known hacks are adding a pinch of nutmeg to bring out the creaminess of the cheese or to dust the baked cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet, festive look.
