Jen S. , one of our beloved readers, Cream Cheese Cookie Recipe
GAAHHH!! You need to make some Cookies Right Now? What’s the Easiest Christmas Cookies I can whip up with ingredients I have in my pantry right now?
Cream Cheese Cookies:
Ingredients:
2 packages of cream cheese, softened
1 cup Crisco
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 egg yolks
2 cups flour
Maraschino cherries, halved
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Mix all ingredients together until just blended
Drop by spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart
Top each with half a cherry
Bake until edges are slightly brown, maybe 15-20 minutes
Some people also put half a walnut on top instead of a cherry. Or you could pop a chocolate Kiss on when you remove from the over. Also, these cookies taste amazing topped with a lemon glaze! Enjoy!
Thanks Jen S. for this amazing recipe! Here’s what she has to say about it:
I have never seen these anywhere and have never heard of anyone else making them. I don’t know if my Great Grandmother made them up or if they were really around in Poland…where she came from.”

I was looking to add a different cookie to the ones I already make. And this looks like the one.
These look really good!
Oh my goodness these cookies are a double win, easy to make and they look scrumptious ! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These sound delicious and so easy to make! Thanks for the recipe!
Last time I made cookies during christmas was over 10 years ago
I’m going to try this with both the chocolate and the glaze (for whatever reason, I’m not fond of nuts in my cookies). Hope it still works with vegan cream cheese…I haven’t ventured into much nondairy baking since becoming allergic to dairy. Day to day stuff was hard enough, but I think it’s time to experiment! (If anyone has some tips, please let me know!)
When it comes to recipes, easy and cookies are great words to hear. 🙂 These are a little different, too. Today is Bake Cookies Day so enjoy!
Re: Cream Cheese Cookie recipe–what size are the packages of cream cheese?
Today is homemade cookie day! Great tasting and there are so many kinds to choose from. “Christmas” cookies can go for any time of the year, and easy is the way to go.
This cookie sounds so delicious! I added this recipe to my Pinterest Board Cookies! Thank you for sharing this easy wonderful Christmas Cookie Recipe! I will put different toppings on mine like you suggested to make them even more appealing! I can’t wait to make and try them!!
I like to bake and you can bake these cookies all year round not just Christmas. The recipe is easy to follow and the cookies look good.
These are so cute and they look delicious, too!
I’ll have to try these, I love cream cheese
These sound delicious! TFS!
My easy cookie recipe: 1 cake mix (any flavor), 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs, 1 cup of anything (choc chips, chopped candy, dried fruit, etc.). Mix well. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes apx. 3 dozen.
Merry Christmas!
thanks for your recipe too! The Chief Blonde!
Brings back memories, my mom always made these!
By any chance was your mom Polish? I have never seen or heard of these outside of my family. The recipe was passed down from my Great Grandmother who came over from Poland.
I definitely need to give these a try!
