Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and softened when you make the frosting so it is easy to combine and spread on the cookies.
  • Let The Cookies Cool: Make sure the cookies have cooled before adding the cream cheese frosting so it doesn’t melt.
