Yesterday we attended a kids’ Christmas cookie exchange at a friend’s house. The kids and I knew exactly the cookie we wanted to make, so for ease sake, I did a quick search on my blog to find my favorite Christmas cookie recipe only to realize I’ve never shared it on here before. What?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve shared all my other childhood favorites, from marinated chicken and noodles<\/a> to Suzie’s chicken<\/a> and even my bro’s favorite Mexican dip<\/a>. But not my favorite Christmas cookie? Well, that changes now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cream cheese thumbprint Christmas cookie has been my favorite since childhood for a lot of reasons. I love the small size, the bright, happy aesthetic, the slight cream cheese flavor, and the fact that the cookie itself is not too sweet, so the icing adds just the right amount of complimenting sweetness. They’re delicious AND easy to customize to your favorite colors. They add such a bright pop of color to any cookie plate you plan on bringing to the neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process is fairly simple (if you remember to put out your butter and cream cheese to soften). Mix the sugar, butter, and cream cheese. Add the egg yolk and vanilla. slowly add the flour. Refrigerate the dough for an hour. Roll, press in thumb, bake, fill with icing. Devour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
