Cookie Day 4: White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies

The holiday spirit is definitely wafting through our kitchen! With a blanket of fresh snow on the ground, it definitely feels more like the holidays. And in my kitchen, I love the warmth my oven is giving off after baking a few batches of cookies! Speaking of cookies, it's Cookie Day #4 of our holiday countdown. Today, I'm highlighting these White Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies that were made by my friend, Katie. These pillows of sweetness are easy to make with only a few add-ins to your favorite sugar cookie recipe!

These cookies are packed with cheesecake flavor! The combination of both cheesecake pudding and cream cheese also make these especially soft while maintaining their shape. You can also put on your own spin on these cookies but adding in chopped pistachios and dried cranberries for a pop of festive color too!
