This recipe for a Cream Cheese Cookie comes from my mother who got it from her grandmother.
When my mom was little they would visit her grandparents in Pompton Lakes, NJ for the holidays and my great grandmother Albigese would make these Italian cookies for my mom and her siblings.
I have since turned it dairy free to work with my food allergies. I hope you like it.
