I love baking Christmas cookies during this time of year, but sometimes I don't have time to roll them out and ice them. This is the perfect solution for your sugar cookie fix!

Steps

1

Mix eggs, butter, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
2

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.
3

Spread dough into a 12 x 17 jelly roll pan. Dough will be super, duper sticky! You will need to spread it in the pan like you are icing a cake. I used a large silicone head spatula to spread dough.
4

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven until golden brown (about 20 mins). Don't over cook or your cookies will be dry.
5

For frosting: cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar. Thin with milk or lemon juice to get desired consistency.
6

Ice cookies when completely cool. Decorate if desired. Cut into squares. Store in tightly sealed container. No need to refrigerate.
