How to Make Cream Cheese Christmas Holiday Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can decorate as desired! Sprinkles, frosting, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar will do.
