Hi Molly! Sorry for the delayed response. The sugar cookie frosting will taste good, but it will certainly knock down the cream cheese flavor in these cookies. You could make the dough a few days in advance. I hope you enjoyed them! 🙂

Hey Sam! I am going to make these cream cheese cookies and use your sugar cookie icing on top, instead of the cream cheese frosting, (just because I need to make a lot and stack them).
1.) Do you think that combination will be good?
2.) Can I make the cream cheese cookie batter a day or two before I bake them? (I have so many things to make for the Super Bowl, including your Buttercream Vanilla cupcakes, so I am trying to prep as much as possible!)

Thank you for sharing both of these delicious recipes. I liked the cookies and the frosting, but found the combination had too much cream cheese flavor for my taste. Like a delicious piece of cheesecake with no topping. I like cheesecake with a little topping. I added a couple teaspoons of pumpkin spice and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder to the cream cheese frosting. It paired well with the perfectly soft cream cheese cookies. I will also be experimenting to see what other cookies and frosting I like these with. They’re delicious!

Hi Steff! That should work just fine. I’m sorry about your experience. 🙁

Do you think these could be portioned out with a cookie scoop, and then flattened using the bottom of a drinking glass coated with powdered sugar? I made cut out sugar cookies a couple years ago for the first time and haven’t completely healed emotionally from it LOL.

HI Michelle! They have a subtle tanginess to them from the cream cheese. You can use any frosting you’d like, including my easy sugar cookie icing or royal icing. Enjoy!

Will these cookies taste like cream cheese? also can you use a different type of frosting?

In reply to Samantha.

Hi Samantha! I’m so glad you enjoyed. I’ll have to add a note to the recipe to clarify this, but I store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. Because of the amount of sugar in the icing I am comfortable not refrigerating them and never have, but if you are worried about it you can refrigerate in an airtight container instead.

Hi, Sam.
These are excellent! Made them for Valentine’s Day and my whole family enjoys!! I checked the recipe but I didn’t see any mention of storage- should these be stored at room temp or in the refrigerator?

In reply to Mary.

Hi Mary! I typically don’t refrigerate them due to the amount of sugar in the frosting. They will hold up well in the refrigerator. 🙂

Love this cookie so delicious. I would like to know to store them should they be refrigerated since the frosting has cream cheese in it?

Hi Stella! The dough should freeze just fine. It will keep for a couple of months once frozen. 🙂

Love making these cookies and my family loves them. Question, can you make dough and freeze and if so for how long.
Thank you, Stella

In reply to Julia DeFranacesca.

I’m so glad to hear this, Julia! How much to add really depends on personal preference and how strong you’d like the flavor to be. 1 Tablespoon sounds like a lot to me and I would probably start with 1-2 teaspoons (I use 1 1/2 teaspoons in my pumpkin snickerdoodles and think it is plenty to flavor the dough), BUT if you like a stronger flavor you can certainly add more! 🙂

These cookies have been a hit with my whole family! I have been making them every holiday in different shapes and colours, and they never disappoint. For Thanksgiving I wanted to add a little pumpkin spice to the mix as well. Do you think 1 Tbsp would be enough? Too much? I would love to know what you think.

Thanks for all the great recipes!

Made these today for my Valentine’s gifts for my adult children. I tinted the icing a pretty shade of pink! Decided to pipe an icing heart on to the heart shaped cookie and popped them into the refrigerator to set up as I want to put them into treat bags tomorrow! They were a very chewy cookie! Delicious!
