Ingredients
- 1 16oz roll of premade refrigerated sugar cookie dough (makes 16 cookies)
- 4 oz ⅓ less fat cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ c powdered sugar
- ½ tsp orange zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ c reduced sugar dried cranberries, roughly chopped (if needed, you can sub ¼ c regular dried cranberries w/o altering points value)
- ¼ c white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Divide sugar cookie dough into 16 cookies and bake as directed on the package. Allow to cool.
- In a small bowl stir together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and orange zest. Stir until smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Frost the top of each cookie with the cream cheese frosting. You should have enough to use 1½ tsp of frosting per cookie.
- Sprinkle the top of the cookies with the chopped cranberries.
- Place white chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the tops of the cookies with the melted white chocolate and allow to sit until chocolate has hardened. (Place in fridge for a few minutes if you are in a hurry!) Enjoy - store leftovers in the fridge due to the cream cheese frosting.

To save a point you can divide the cookie dough into 19 cookies instead of 16. This will make each cookie 4 points instead of 5 points. You should still have enough frosting for the extra cookies.
