Don’t get me started on the marriage of cream cheese and cookies. Was there ever a more powerful duo? Right.
Listen, snatched this recipe from Preppy Kitchen, and I fell in love with it. It’s so simple and so freaking good tasting. These cookies are a perfect blend of a little tang meets sweet, and you’ll want these all the time. Check it:
