A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Butter Fluff Cookies

Butter Fluff Cookies - A Pinch of Joy I liked this recipe for Butter Fluff Cookies because it includes butter and cream cheese and tastes like a rich,fluffy cloud.   It is also quick and easy and you can vary it in so many ways.  Like this:

Butter Fluff Cookies - A Pinch of Joy   Variation 1 – 3: Rolled in red sanding sugar before baking, green and red sprinkles mixed into the dough before baking, rolled in tiny green candy balls before baking.

Mini Chocolate Chips - A Pinch of Joy Variation 4:  Add mini Chocolate chips.  (Variation 5 not pictured – Heath Toffee Bits)

Variation 6:  Chopped walnuts (pecans, almonds also good!)

Why did I try  variations?  Because when I first tasted the mixed cookie dough, I thought it needed pizazz.  So I pizazzed.  And when I was finished, guess what was my favorite?  The plain fluffy cloud.  Seconded quite closely by the chopped walnut — cuz I like nuts!  Without further ado:
