Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies Recipe

By -Tam | Food Apparel Leave a Comment

cream cheese sugar cookies - food apparel Although I have so many fond memories of making them, I have never been a big fan of actually eating homemade sugar cookies.  To me, they are good for about ten minutes out of the oven and then they are just too stinkin’ flavorless and stale for me to want to eat.  Then one day I came across the idea to add cream cheese and ever since, I have to shove these things out the door or I will eat them by the dozens.
