Notes
Tips To Make These Cream Cheese Cookies Extra Delicious
- Measure the flour correctly. Packing flour can cause too much to be used, drying out your cookies. If you can’t measure your flour with a scale, sift it or stir it with a spoon. Then sprinkle it into the measuring cup. Level it for accuracy.
- Dampen your hands before rolling the dough. Cream cheese cookie dough is very sticky. To keep it from sticking to your hands when rolling it into balls, get your hands slightly wet first. This will make the process easier and neater.
- Bake these cookies on the center rack. Place the cookies on the center rack so that all parts of the cookies are baked evenly.
- Try some variations. Dust the cookies with cinnamon sugar, add some chocolate chips, or drizzle them with melted white chocolate. These delicious cream cheese cookies can be very versatile.
