Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

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.
