How to Make 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!
