• Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets, and flatten each into a flat disk using a drinking glass bottom.
  
  
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. If your oven gives off strong heat from the bottom like mine, you may want to double pan the baking sheet to keep cookies from burning.

• Let cream cheese cookies cool in baking pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
