Guys these Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies are so soft and delicious! They have a lovely lemon flavor without being overpowering. I love lemon cream cheese desserts and these cookies do not disappoint. In fact, I think they are the best lemon cookies!

Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies - I think these are the best lemon cookies - soft, moist, with a light lemon flavor. Grab the easy recipe.

 

The drizzle I put on top of these lemon cookies has lemon juice in it too, adding to that great lemon flavor.

Recipe for Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies

You start by creaming together your butter and cream cheese. That alone should tell you these are going to be some great cookies.

Creaming the butter and cream cheese for the lemon cream cheese cookies.

 

Add the sugar and then you’ll let it go mixing away because creamy is always better.

Adding the lemon zest to the lemon cream cheese batter.

 

Once it’s creamy you’ll be adding the egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Dry ingredients for the lemon cream cheese cookies.

 

Time to prep the dry ingredients. Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. I whisk it all together.

Then it’s time to add the dry to the wet until it’s just combined.

Now, this is the hardest part – waiting the 4 + hours so the dough can firm up.

Once the lemon cookies are baked up you’ll let them cool at least 20 minutes and then it’s time to drizzle with a lemon icing… so good!

Then I finish the cookies with a little more lemon zest. It looks so pretty plus it adds a great additional lemon flavor.

One bite and you'll see how moist, soft and lemony these Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies are.

This simple spring decor idea is great for a mantel or a centerpiece. Green and blue mason jars just scream spring and summer to me... add some pretty flowers and a chalkboard "Spring" banner and you're set!
