Aunt Sues Chocolate Chip Cheese Holiday Cookies Recipes

NESTLE TOLL HOUSE SWIRLED HOLIDAY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine swirled and semi-sweet morsels in small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 1/4 cups morsels and nuts. Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Top dollops with remaining morsels.
• Bake for 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

CREAM CHEESE CHRISTMAS (HOLIDAY) COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, salt, butter, cream cheese, almond and vanilla extract, and egg yolk together well.
• Stir in flour until well blended.
• Chill dough for at least 30 minutes (I've chilled mine a little less than 24 hours but I wouldn't suggest going over that.).
• After You've taken the dough out of the chilled area (sometimes I use the garage) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out 1/3-1/2 of the dough.
• Cut the dough to holiday shapes and place on an ungreased pan. (The cookies do not expand very much while cooking, so you can place them close together.).
• Here's where you can use the egg white! Spread the egg white over the top of the cookie and add sprinkle if you would like, or leave them plain and add frosting later!
• Bake the cookies 10 minutes (or until they're a light brown).
• Let cookies cool completely before adding any frosting.
