These Cream Cheese Christmas Sprinkle Cookies are so easy to make. No chilling or rolling the dough necessary! A cream cheese cookie dough gets rolled in sprinkles then baked for an irresistible holiday cookie.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a cookie sheet(s) by lining it with a piece of parchment.
In a mixer, beat the cream cheese and shortening together until smooth.
Add the sugar, egg yolk, flour, salt, and vanilla and thoroughly combine.
Using a level tablespoon of dough or cookie scoop of the same size, form dough into a ball and roll into colored sprinkles. Place onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, just until edges are lightly golden.
