I wish my weather  here had been a bit more cooperative today for my photos, it’s my 43rd Birthday so of course, it’s all doom, gloom, rain, and dark ominous clouds outside. I was hoping for sunshine and rainbows today! It seems my husband being his usual disconnected man self is too preoccupied with himself this June 2nd to do any sort of celebration for his wife. I bet his Birthday will be fun this year huh? HA!

I decided to make my  own day a little more cheerful, by baking up some delicious soft Cream Cheese Sprinkle cookies. I had picked up a few cake mixes on sale awhile back and used one for my  simple and easy Memorial Day Bundt Cake, so I had one more in the pantry to use up and decided to make some of my favorite cookies to share with you on my Birthday.

Below you will find my simple recipe with easy to follow instructions to make these delicious cookies for your loved ones and friends any time of the year you want super soft cake cookies with delicious cream cheese and strawberry icing.

Cream Cheese Sprinkle Cookies

• 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1 container cream cheese icing
• 4 medium strawberries minced.
• colorful sprinkles

Directions

1. Beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
2. In another bowl  add white cake mix, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, stir to mix all dry ingredients.
3. Mix in 1/2 of the dry ingredients, an egg, and the vanilla into cream cheese and butter  until smooth.
4. Stir in remaining dry ingredients.
5. Roll in a ball and cover with plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator 1 hour
6. Drop by a tablespoon on an ungreased non-stick metal cookie sheet.
