Soft and chewy sugar cookies made with cream cheese. The cream cheese makes these cookies more fluffy than regular sugar cookies. They are perfect to bake for any occasion. Everyone will love the soft and chewy texture of these cookies, and delicious cream cheese flavor.
The cookie dough is made similar to a classic sugar cookie dough, except that the butter is mixed with cream cheese. And instead of baking soda, baking powder is used. The cookie dough is rolled into balls, and placed onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
