I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, but these cookies were surprisingly delicious! The cream cheese adds a subtle tanginess that really complements the sweetness of the cookie.

These slice and bake cookies are a breeze to make! I love that I can just mix them up and put them in the fridge until I'm ready to bake them. They always turn out perfectly golden and chewy.
