These Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies are melt in your mouth amazing. Topped with a simple cream cheese frosting and finished off with sprinkles. They are the best sugar cookies you will ever make.Â
I LOVE this cookie recipe. Sugar cookies have never been my favorite cookie. I was always more of a chocolate chip fan but these cookies changed everything.
They are melt in your mouth amazing and tasty. The cream cheese frosting helps a lot also! I tend to make these now over any other cookie.
Plus you can change up the sprinkles to make them fit any holiday or theme!
