Today’s cookie recipe for Cranberry Cream Cheese Snickerdoodles all begins with a mix.  You know we all have those times during the Christmas season where you need to bring some cookies to some Christmas gathering. However, the problem is you just don’t have the time to make them.  Instead of running to the local bakery and snagging a box of cookies, make these.

They all begin with a package of Betty Crocker’s Snickerdoodle cookie mix.  So grab one the next time you hit the store. Then keep on hand to make these yummy cookies. I adapted the recipe from one off the back of a package of cookie mix.

All you basically do is substitute half of the butter with 4 oz of cream cheese. Mix together according to package directions along with the water and egg. Then mix 1 cup of dried cranberries into the dough, so simple.

Of course these cookies are finished off in a roll of cinnamon sugar before they bake in the oven. Cook for about 8 minutes and cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute. Then move to a cooling rack to finishing cooling off.

The cream cheese really helps make this cookie yummy.  It is soft and creamy in texture and flavor.  The dried cranberries add a festive touch along with some chewiness to the cookie.

  1. Erin, it can be found at Target at Christmas, and usually goes on a deep clearance afterwards.
    I have about 20 bags from last year that were 14 cents a bag.

  2. I am using the Krusteaz brand. It comes in a box, but works just as well. I used to make it with the Betty Crocker, but after searching every where, and not finding it, I reluctantly bought the Krusteaz, and it works just as well.

  3. I had this mix in my pantry and needed to take something for our English conversation class. Then I noticed the cranberry/cream cheese option on the package, and I had both. This is really, really good, although I think 25 is a more accurate number, now 23, since I sampled 2. I also added walnuts to the last group. I put a link on my FB page, and my blog.

  4. I cannot find the Snickerdoodle mix anywhere and Betty Crocker’s website doesn’t even list it anymore. Does anyone know how to make these awesome cookies without it?
