Holiday Cookie Recipe: Easy Cream Cheese Cookies
These easy cookies make for a fun baking craft for children of all ages.
My granddaughter loves to make and eat these cookies! She especially enjoys using the cookie gun. It’s the one cookie she still wants to come make, even in her teenage years.
Mix together:
¼ c soft butter
8 oz softened cream cheese
1 egg yolk
Add: 1 full package yellow cake mix (or two Jiffy yellow cake mixes)
1 tsp vanilla
Chill at least 1 hour or more and put through a cookie gun or chill, roll into logs and roll logs in colored sugar using plastic wrap, chill some more and slice. Can be decorated with colored sugar, chocolate chips or bits of Maraschino cherry.
Bake 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
