In reply to Stacy. Hi Stacy, unfortunately these would not work well as cut out cookies.

Can this recipe be used for cutout cookies?

In reply to Alexa McDaniel. Hi Alexa! You can bake them directly from frozen. They will just take an extra minute or so in the oven. :)

If I prep them and freeze them a few days before baking, would I let them completely defrost before baking or bake from frozen and add time?

Sooo good! I was hesitant about the cream cheese at first, because I don’t care for it much. But the cream cheese really makes this recipe! I also completely missed the vanilla extract lol, but that also didn’t matter because it’s just so good even without it!

In reply to Shelly. Hi Shelly! You could probably bump the sprinkles up to 1/3 cup. :)

Hi,

Instead of adding chocolate chips, how much more sprinkles can I add to the recipe?

If you don’t care for white chocolate chips can you substitute regular chocolate chips?

Hi Sam! My sister and I made these cookies last Saturday. They were the best holiday cookies we’ve ever made before in our life. Thank you so much for the recipe Sam! We are making them again on Christmas Eve.

Sam, I made the blizzard cookies for my brothers employees at their collusion business and they were a big hit!! The worst chocolate chip cookies were a hit too! You were right, my oven is out of wack. I fixed it making the coffee cake again and it was SO delicious!! Thank you for all your great recipes with the videos.

In reply to Bethany. I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much, Bethany! If you were baking them on the center rack and they were still cooking unevenly your oven temperature may a little higher than it says it is.

These cookies are soft and decedent! I will definitely be including them in my christmas cookie tins. However, the bottoms were browning much faster than the center was baking. I solved the issue by putting an empty pan on the rack below the cookies, but any ideas why this happened?

In reply to Yamini. Hi Yamini! You can leave out the chocolate chips if you'd like. You can really use whatever kind of sprinkles you want, but if you are going to roll them you will need the outside of the dough ball to be warm enough that the sprinkles will stick. :)

this looks wonderful! Can I make it without the white chocolate chips – and will it still be sweet enough? Also will this recipe work with any type of sprinkles? And can you roll the dough in sprinkles before baking to get more sprinkles on the top or will it mess it up if they are shaped sprinkles and such.

Can I use this recipe with Macadamia nuts? I really love the way these came out and I think Macadamia nuts would benefit the truly rich buttery taste of these.

In reply to Janet. Nope, no need! Enjoy!
