Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese Cookies

— PIN THIS RECIPE —

You guys, I have a confession. It’s September and I’m already starting to think ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas! I start planning the logistics of November and December about this time of the year. Between trips, holiday meals, shopping, and holiday baking, there are a lot of things to get in order!

I usually make plates full of goodies to share with friends and neighbors. And you can bet these Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese Cookies will be on the list! Everyone loves how puffy and light they are!

This Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese Cookies recipe is one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes (and let’s be honest, year-round cookie!). They’re so pillowy soft, with just the perfect amount of cinnamony sweetness. You’ll only need a few ingredients before you start baking.

One of my favorite secret weapons in my baking recipes is Challenge Butter – and in the case of my Snickerdoodle Cream Cheese Cookies, Challenge Cream Cheese.

Challenge is the only dairy product company that controls the whole process when it comes to making its butter – from milking the cows to transporting the milk, to making the butter, and to packaging. It’s made the right way – the old-fashioned way! With no hormones, additives, or fillers and farm to fridge in just TWO days, Challenge dairy products have a taste you’ll love – my family does!

A cooperative of California family-owned dairies founded more than 100 years ago, Challenge is proud to sell its products NATIONALLY. I’m happy to share that Challenge is now available in Kroger stores. Look for it at a store near you! To find retailers near you, visit www.challengedairy.com/where-to-buy.
