I’m a professional cake decorator and these are now my most “Asked for” cookie. I make these (have found I need to squish them down and not leave in a ball) I make a cream cheese Frosting with custard powder to put on top and they are heaven! They are good by themselves but add a buttercream or cream cheese frosting and “Magic” happens! Be warned they will be your most requested cookie by your sugar cookie lovers! They are a little time consuming but worth the extra time for sure. I no longer make sugar cookies Cz these take the cake!

Got a question. Did your dough texture come out exactly like his or did it just come out finely blended?? Cus I followed step by step n even adding the flour mines didn't clump up into a dough. .. But the fridge made it stiffen up to make the ball rolling process happen.

Dipped half the ball in white sugar sand before baking and kept the cookies to the smaller side. Perfect for our needs this year! Thanks for this recipe!

[@williamowens5542]

I made these today. This is now my standard versatile cookie dough. I already discovered you don't need to chill the dough, you don't need to roll the dough around in your hand and this recipe will adapt to lots of different flavors. I used my standard small ice cream scoop and got 22 round cookies. The last six got a small handful of shredded coconut added as a (very successful) test. Next times I will switch out flavors, such as almond or lemon, which should work easily.

OH MY! Thanks for this recipe! My mom used to make these in the 60s when I was a girl. We made them together a couple times, (sadly we rarely cooked together) at Christmastime, from a tattered hand typed recipe she in a three ring binder from some women's group (maybe Army Wives or Catholic boarding school) that shared recipes. I haven't thought of them of in years, and it's been decades since I've had one, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! I'll do them next week with my granddaughter when she comes to stay. I really appreciate this. I have very few good memories of my mom, whose life was troubled, so I try to cultivate the good ones because the bad ones don't need help. This is healing - THANKS!

[@VelvetCrone]

Okay - so we used to roll the batter up into a wax paper wrapped log before refrigeration. Then we could unwrap and slice, and bake. It was great to make extra ahead, and bake more really fast, which was handy during the holidays. I bet it would freeze well. I'm going to try it. I'll report back.

[@KyotoMelody]

Thank you! This has been one of the comfort food to me during the so called “stay-at home” order! A cup of green tea and a couple of cream cheese cookies! What a comfort!

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

You could probably wrap the dough in plastic, shaped like a log. twist the ends and refrigerate. then all you have to do is unwrap and cut the dough to the thickness you need. These look really good.

[@marie_can_cook]

I love this recipe! You are correct the dough is a sticky mess. I got tired of fighting it because I started too late in the day so I put the dough in refrigerator overnight. I don’t know why but it was so easy to work with the next day. My daughter loves Snicker Doodles so I made a bowl of cinnamon and turbanado sugar. After rolling the cookies I rolled them in the cinnamon sugar. Omg they were amazing. The turbanado sugar gives them a nice crunch versus regular sugar. I’ve made a lot of your recipes and love every one of them. Easy to follow. I have a brain disease and it has really made it hard for me to comprehend directions correctly. I’m Sicilian and not used to following a recipe but a stroke took my memories away so my kids want everything written down. My daughter arrives Friday for my birthday and I am going to surprise her with the cookies. She’s a Snicker Doodle junkie and she also loves my cheesecakes. Thanks again ❤️❤️

These cookies are delicious 😋 I make them each yr to put in my Christmas cookies cookie platters. Over yrs I have sold 1000s of my cookies and Cookie platters for Christmas ❤The cookie platters also have homemade fudge with them 😋😎😋 Refrigerate cookie dough 12hrs is best. It makes a big difference 😊

[@_Sedna_]

This is my new favourite cookie recipe, it tastes amazing, and it stays soft even after two days! (It took an enormous amount of willpower to test this, believe me.) A word to the wise: if your kitchen is quite warm (as mine usually is, especially when the oven is on), be quick when handling the dough. I fiddled with the balls a bit too much when I made my first batch, so even though I took the dough out of the fridge only a few minutes before baking, some of the balls started to melt a little before getting into the oven, and as a result I got a few cookie-puddles instead of round and shapely mounds. Still friggin' delicious though :D The second time around I threw the balls back into the fridge and only took them out to quickly slap them onto the baking tray, and they turned out perfect

[@penney315]

Yum. Made this with half the sugar (1/2c) and it was delicious! Also, I didn’t bother rolling them, just scoop them straight on the baking sheet. Thanks for the recipe!

[@gaildoore3621]

[@karenanson]

Lol… had to laugh because as I watched I was already adjusting the recipe and process in my head and that is EXACTLY what I planned. I find that most recipes use WAY too much sugar for my taste so I almost always reduce it by half. Glad to know it worked! 😋😋😋

[@br00klyn1968]

I was wondering what it might taste like with almond extract

[@jeaniemario2093]

I'm eating these right now after making them for the first time. Absolutely delicious! I love that they only use half a brick of cream cheese. I have recipes that cause for half and then the other half sits in the fridge forever, and now whenever I make something with 4 ounces of cream cheese I'll whip these up quickly.

[@deborahdoesscrap]

Back in the 1970's we had an elderly friend. Each time she came to visit she brought a box of baked goods. She made Angel Food Cake from scratch and frosted it with a maraschino cherry glaze, back when maraschino cherries were actually good! Included in the box was always two different cookies that I have never seen since. I would ask her to share her recipe with me. She was really elderly, had no children or family and she would not share the recipe. She did tell me that the two cookies were "cream cheese cookies". One cookie had small pieces of maraschino cherries in the dough and glazed with the same glaze from the cake. The second cookie was also a "cream cheese cookie" and it was stuffed with a combination of diced nuts, cherries, raisins and dates. You could tell the fruit and nuts were cooked in some liquid but I think they had been marinated in rum as they had a faint rum taste. This batter seems like it might not be dry enough to roll and cut, with intent to stuff. I really would have loved to have the recipes. Thinking about it, I just remembered there was another cookie that was also stuffed with a date that had a walnut inside and it was stuffed with cream cheese, not in the dough. She was an amazing baker and it is so sad that her love of baking and her wonderful recipes died with her. Thank you for sharing the recipe that brought back so many wonderful memories.

[@deanneparis8888]

I have three kids and when they would accuse me of having a favorite I would always tell them " yep, but favorites change". They are grown now and they all say that they each got to be my favorite. I loved baking with my kids, it makes me smile to see you bake with your boys!

I did not like them warm, but after they completely cooled off WOW! I liked them after they sat on a cooling rack for a few hours. I put them in a ziplock and left at room temp; they were still delicious the next day but got just a little bit moist in the baggie, so I'm wondering if in a container or frozen might work better for my preference. Thank you for your help/suggestions.

I am on my second batch of 72 cookies 🍪 and can unequivocally say that using monk fruit sugar substitute and doing the maths so that the “flour” is 3 parts almond flour to 1 part coconut 🥥 flour (which makes a pretty decent all purpose flour substitute) rocks! Thank you John, these are addictive :)

[@jlwestbrook325]

Kristi Lisa Kleiner....where is the recipe printed out or I'll just have to watch from beginning.

[@kristilisakleiner9384]

@@jlwestbrook325 Yes, that is what I did, I watched several times or just paused the video, substituting monk fruit for sugar and I took the volume of flour and did the math to make it 3 parts almond flour one part coconut flour. Not almond meal but almond flour, you can find a finely ground almonds flour that is very‘flour’ ish, Trader Joe’s sells a good one but I know it can be found at Sprouts and Costco

This recipe is so amazing! Unbelievably easy to put together and sooo delicious. Not too sweet, so even my parents who don't like sweet things ate them 😂 and I chilled the dough overnight and it wasn't sticky, I didn't even have to wash my hands during rolling. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe ♥️

Thank you very much for including the weights of the dry ingredients in your recipes, it is absolutely more accurate than a measuring cup. It can also save you dirtying some bowls and measuring cups if you just tare the previous weight when adding your dry ingredients.

The most elegant way to take cookie dough out of the paddle attachment is with my tongue. Clean and happy results every time 😀

Hey John, I was wondering if you could do a video about your copper cookware, the pros and cons of it, and how to best look after them? I’m thinking of investing in some copper pots and pans but imagine they need a bit of extra care and polishing?

My daughter made ginger syrup which I added to cookie recipe, so good

I just made my cream cheese cookie dough and will pop in the fridge and bake in the morning! I cannot wait to have a couple with my tea!💕

I remember my Mom making cream cheese cookies when I was a kid. I had forgotten about them. I will definitely make this recipe. Thanks John ❤️

[@evepaludan7713]

I just made these. They're really good with a cup of Earl Grey hot tea. I used a cookie scoop and it worked perfectly.

Good recipe. I hope you don’t mind if I make a couple of suggestions: 1. Instead of 2tsp vanilla, try 1.5 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. It makes these cookies just…WOW. 2. Because they are so sticky, I scoop with a spoon and drop a blob into a little bowl of granulated sugar and coat it. Now you can roll it into a ball easier and you can skip the powdered sugar at the end. (And you won’t have the dough sticking all over your fingers.). They will still be pretty because they sparkle. 3. I might try a cooler oven temp next time because you really have to watch these. If they are even in a minute too long, the bottom turns golden and there’s nothing wrong with that, but now a soft cookie is crunchy on the bottom. Still good, though! Before you say it’s because of the sugar, it’s not. I make all of my sugar cookies this way and I’ve never experienced this as a problem. Thanks for the recipe, it’s a good one.

[@lucillereneebrown8786]

I was thinking of using lemon extract and vanilla or sprinkling with red sugar sprinkles or green for Xmas what do you think?

[@estelladog1]

I'm thinking anise!

Please tell me the exact baking time in the oven, what the temperature should be and in what mode, Convection or normal. Thank you

I have made these cream cheese cookies so many times and I just made another batch again today. 😁Whoever I shared the cookie with, they just loved them. Thanks for sharing such a good recipe.

[@cynthianguyen8830]

Omg John I made 2 batches today and we can’t stop eating them Thank you so much for such good cookies recipe

Stumbled accross this recipe today to make for Christmas! They just came out of the oven 10 minutes ago and I had to try! Yummy so good!

[@raquelalmestica304]

These were a hit for my two back to back gatherings this weekend. Everyone said they were so light and so good. A great cookie for the summer and most people said they would be so great with coffee in the morning. Your recipes are so simple and so yum! Thanks so much.

[@Blueskies1180]

Love it! I have a block of cream cheese I bought on sale and didn’t know what else to make with it, so this is perfect!

I am so successful to cook the cream cheese cookies for the party today. Everyone loved it and all of them were gone. Thank you for the recipe. I will cook it every-time when I have party.

thank you for making it in gram i never understand cup things lol I'll try this recipe this looks so yummyy

[@cbryce9243]

I prefer grams too, the cookies come out better. It is especially important when making things with gluten free flours.

Elegant dough removal from paddle technique: use a butter knife to carefully and lovingly scrape off all residual dough from the paddle in full appreciation of keeping the dough mixture as robust as possible for final hand mixing and follow on ball rolling. Patience is key!

[@vivianaguzman446]

I dont have the last ingredient you mentioned, patience!

[@dragonflypromoise7774]

My Mom use to make these with Almond extract. So good. Best cookie ever. For Christmas she would put a dried cherry pressed in the center.
