I should have made more of these cookies because after taking some to work and keeping some at home, they were all gone pretty quick! This is a classic sugar cookie recipe, but we’re updating it by adding cream cheese which is going to make the cookies even more soft and delicious.
Cream Cheese Cookies!
Have you ever added cream cheese to your cookies before? If not, your cookie loving brain is going to love it! The cream cheese makes the cookies soft, moist and so good! If you’re looking for new Christmas Cookies recipes to try, you need to give this recipe a shot!
Because I love taking cookies to the next step, I mixed some powdered sugar and milk together to make a light vanilla glaze frosting to dip each cookie in. Finally, add holiday colored sprinkles or chopped up candy canes on top of each cookie and they’re ready to go! If you’re sharing these with others, make sure to keep a few for yourself because they won’t last!
This recipe makes 48 Cream Cheese Christmas Sugar Cookies, which I think will last you a few days during the holidays, with a few more to spare for Santa!

Delicious and easy to make. They kept their shape and didn’t spread at all. My family loved them. I personally thought it was too much butter though – they left a slightly greasy feeling in my mouth. I’ll try again and reduce to 3/4 cup.
Hey Cindy, thanks for commenting and letting me know you made the cookies. Glad your family loved the cookies!
These cookies are so good. My husband ate the first batch so I made another 😀👍
Hey Michele, thanks so much for commenting! I’m glad you guys are loving these cookies!
Hey! I have a cousin who has Alopecia, so her diet has to be gluten free, and I’m trying to make Christmas cookies for gifts. Can the flour be substituted for rice flour?
Hey Ashley, I’ve never made these with rice flour, so I don’t know the substitution amounts. If you want to give it a shot though, I’d love to hear how they turn out!
