Mom's Cream Cheese Cookies

My mom has had this recipe for a really long time; she found it in the local newspaper at home in PA. In addition to her infamous chocolate chip cookies we sometimes throw these cookies into the mix around the holidays as well. If you're any type of fan of cream cheese, you'll love these! I will warn you though - they go fast. They're very light and creamy so it's hard to just eat one or two at a time.

Cream Cheese Cookie Recipe:


1 cup of butter (2 sticks)

8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup of sugar

1/4 tsp. of salt

1 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

2 tbsp. milk

2 cups of flourBeat butter,  cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add egg and milk.  Mix well. Gradually add flour.  Mix.  Drop by teaspoon or tablespoon (based on desired size) on a lightly greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.

Try not to eat all the batter before baking

My make shift cooling rack: toaster oven insert racks and drinking glasses!

Add a few pieces of bread to wherever you store your cookies - it will keep them moist!
