Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are an important part of any Christmas or Thanksgiving holiday table because they decorate the table so beautifully, and who can resist a delicious cream cheese sugar cookie during the holidays!

Sugar cookies also play an important role on the “Pittsburgh Cookie Table” tradition. You can read more about that tradition here — > Pittsburgh Cookie Table Tradition. 

Since we are from Pittsburgh, PA, we have often been asked to make cookies –  and we love these heart shaped cookies to add a little romance to the table!

But we love these cream cheese sugar cookies because they delicious and certainly decadent!
