For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter. Ensure your cream cheese is fully at room temperature to avoid lumps in the frosting. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want a richer red color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid. For a festive twist, top the frosted cookies with red and white sprinkles.

Aug 27, 2024My cookies spread out a bit too much during baking. Next time, I'll chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
