Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Every year at Christmas, I go into cookie baking mode. I have several recipes that I like to make during that time of the year only and this is one of them. Last year, I found a "mitten" cookie cutter and made this as gifts and one friend said, "oh man, this isn't just a great cookie this is THE BEST COOKIE I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE". This probably is my all-time favorite cookie because it is so delicious. You can see by this picture that my decorating skills are lacking. That's ok with me. Nobody complained they were too busy enjoying the cookies!
