We absolutely love these cookies! How do you get yours flat? Each time I’ve made them they come out more in mounds, which is fine, but your photos show a flatter cookie.

Also, I probably shouldn’t say drizzle. I put it in a squeeze bottle and just do a swirl on the cookie, so it wouldn’t have to be super runny, just thin enough to go through the nozzle.

I’m looking for a bit more of the cream cheese flavor. I made one last night that has 2 oz. of cream cheese, 3 T. of butter and 3 T. of cream then 3 c. of powdered sugar. It was thin enough to drizzle at first, but harden way too fast to be able to work with. Also, far too sweet. I will keep experimenting! Thanks!

In reply to Dayna rea. It develops a little crust but not enough to stack. I'd suggest making a more traditional glaze- just powdered sugar with enough milk to make it drizzling consistency and vanilla if you'd like. That should drizzle easily :)

Does the icing harden? I would like to just drizzle the icing, but need to be able to stack them for christmas cookie trays.

Wow, these are easily some of the best cookies I’ve ever made!! I used salted butter and left out the added salt and the salt flakes, and just used maybe a handful or two of dark chocolate chips that I chopped up into smaller pieces. I will definitely be making these again!

In reply to Meredith.

Meredith thank you so much for your sweet comment. It’s funny because since I wrote that post I started feeling better and now I’m like “please don’t come out baby- I am not ready!!!” I guess I”m just realizing how precious my time is with Hugo and I’m trying to give him all my attention as long as I can. I”m so nervous for the transition, I’m glad I hopefully have another month to get everything in order. xoxo
