There are so many things we love about this Christmas cookie cutout recipe. It doesn't make a ton of cookies and is easy to throw together - perfect if you just want a little treat. The cookie itself is sweet, tender, buttery and has a richness thanks to the cream cheese. By itself, it's a delicious Christmas cookie. We love that...
