These cream cheese cookies are soft and chewy but firm up the next day after stored in the fridge. I have a cheese biscuit recipe full of butter that is melt in your mouth deliciousness so thought about making a sweet version.
Once firmed up, you just slice the dough and bake! Voila, a delicious batch of low carb cream cheese cookies. This cookie dough could be made in advance. Perhaps keep a roll of dough in the fridge for cookie emergencies!
These cream cheese cookies would be delicious with an additional flavour. I think lemon or orange would be a great flavour choice.
