What special traditions do you have with your family this time of year? I’m looking forward to my family’s cookie baking day, and to more of these Cherry Cream Cheese Cookies! D We’ll also be baking our other favorite holiday cookies. I just love the flavor that real butter adds to these cookies. I’ve stayed true to the original recipe except to swap the shortening out for butter. We’ve always rolled these cookies in chopped walnuts but pecans would be delicious as well. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. It’s the type of old-fashioned recipe that’s not too specific, saying things like “nuts,” but not specifying which kind. Add the butter and beat until combined, scraping down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. Seeing this recipe card is like listening to a story told by my great-grandma. My mom has the original copy of this recipe, handwritten on a recipe card by my great-grandmother. Rolling the dough into balls, rolling the balls in the chopped nuts, and pressing the maraschino cherry half on top of each cookie are all jobs that you can delegate to your eager helpers! These Cherry Cream Cheese Cookies are especially fun to make with kids because there are lots of jobs that are good for little hands. Since we’ve had children, the kids get to join in on the fun. Every year my mom, sisters, and I get together to bake dozens of Christmas cookies and these festive cookies are always included. The recipe for these Cherry Cream Cheese Cookies has been in my family for years. Oops! He said, “It’s ok, Mom, I just brushed the nuts off my plane.” Thanks, buddy. He even flew it into my bowl of chopped walnuts. He helped me to mix up the dough, but when it came time to roll out the cookies he was more interested in flying his paper airplane. William loves to help me in the kitchen, so I figured we could bake the cookies together. Simply drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets and bake for about 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crackly but the center is still soft and puffy. I originally posted this recipe five(!) years ago, and the photos desperately needed an update. Last week I was feeling ambitious so I decided to bake these Cherry Cream Cheese Cookies on a Tuesday.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.These Cream Cheese Cookies are one of my family’s favorite Christmas cookies! We’ve been making these festive, melt-in-your mouth cookies for as long as I can remember. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested.

Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov.
