Yield 32 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
a few drops yellow food coloring
1 pkg. (16.5 oz.) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat together cream cheese and butter with an electric or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract and yellow food coloring and mix until well incorporated.
  • Transfer to a large freezer bag or piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Divide sugar cookie dough into 32 (1/2-oz.) portions and roll each into ball.
  • Place balls of dough, 3 inches apart, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Press your thumb into the top of each ball to create an indentation to fill with frosting after baking.
  • Bake for 11 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  • Cut the corner off of your freezer bag or piping bag and top each cookie with a tablespoon of the chilled cream cheese frosting. Serve immediately.
