Today’s share is a wonderful tried and true recipe from Betty Crocker, a delicious twist on an old time favorite cookie – Cranberry Cream Cheese Snickerdoodles! Only 6 ingredients, including water.
Cranberry Cream Cheese Snickerdoodle Cookies (Thick, Soft & Chewy)
These awesome cookies have the sweet and tangy flavors of classic snickerdoodles, but are taken to the next level with sweet and tart cranberries and the subtle tang of cream cheese. They are thick, soft, chewy, irresistible…and so easy to make using a bag of snickerdoodle cookie mix!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CRANBERRY CREAM CHEESE SNICKERDOODLE COOkIES
Bag of Betty Crocker Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix, sweetened dried cranberries, cream cheese, butter, egg and water.
HOW TO MAKE CRANBERRY CREAM CHEESE SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES
Open Snickerdoodle cookie mix, remove cinnamon mixture pouch and set aside for later.
In a large bowl, mix butter and cream cheese and blend/cream until smooth (make sure both are soft).
Add the dry cookie mix from the bag, egg and water and mix until well blended – the dough will be soft. Next add the cranberries, mix until blended.
PLACE DOUGH IN REFRIGERATOR COVERED FOR 30 MINUTES. Do not skip this part.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Open cinnamon pouch and pour in small bowl. Drop cookie dough in rounded spoonfuls in the cinnamon sugar (I use a medium Pampered Chef scooper), rolling and coating evenly. Place on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake on middle rack of the oven for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove, allow to cool for 1–2 minutes, then move to cooling rack.
Makes approximately 20 cookies using a medium size cookie scooper.

Can this cookie dough be frozen?

What size cookie mix? All I could find was a 17.9 oz. bag. Seems like much.
