For the best flavor, use high-quality cream cheese. Do not overbake these cookies! They should be soft and slightly underbaked for the perfect chewy texture. For easy cleanup, line your baking sheets with parchment paper. To freeze, omit the powdered sugar and store cookies in an airtight container. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving. A stand mixer can be used for this recipe, but be careful not to overmix the dough.
