If a cheese danish and a cookie had a baby, they would produce these cheese danish cookies! These cookies are honestly life changing! I have no words to describe them but to tell you how ridiculously amazing they are. The cookies are lightly sweet, super soft and stay that way for days and the filling is the same as I used in all of my cheese danishes at home – it’s creamy, smooth and delicious! They are ahhhh-dicting. Think of them as little handheld cheese danishes.. in cookie form.

To make these cookies, you’ll prepare the dough and refrigerate it. It’s really soft and creamy thanks to the cream cheese in the dough that gives it such a nice flavor and the lemon juice also gives them something a little special. You’ll roll the chilled dough into 1″ balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Make indentations in the tops of all of the cookies with your finger (I find that using my knuckle and wiggling it around works best!) or another round object and fill the wells with your cheese danish filling. To make life way easier, I like to scoop my filling into a ziplock bag and snip a corner off to pipe into each cookie. So much easier and much less to clean up afterwards! After the cookies are baked and cooled completely, they’ll get drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze that really brings the whole thing together and gives them that traditional cheese danish flavor.

These cookies are super soft and chewy and stay that way for days and days. Even after four days they were still awesome! You wouldn’t expect that with a cookie like this. I just them so much!

    Whoa! I think my mind is totally blown right now. If I baked up a batch of these and served with them with a little dollop of cherry preserves, I think my husband would love me forever (well, he had better regardless, lol).

    Whoa! Those look seriously delicious, and I’m also in awe of your photography skills, just lovely! My stepson recently found out that I’m an awesome baker, so now he expects homemade cookies every time he’s with us. These are going on next week’s menu for sure!

    Oh, this is like bite size heaven!! I so have to make these, but I’ll have to be sure to hide them from my grandma. She’s a diabetic, but would go crazy over these! Okay, I’d share, but only a few.

    This looks so delicious!! I have never though to add cheese to cookies but I guess it isn’t much different than a danish itself. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
