Patriotic Star Cookies
Homemade Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
These Patriotic Star cookies use the same Cream Cheese Cookie recipe that I use during the holiday season and throughout the year for a wonderful homemade taste. The cream cheese adds a sweetness to these cookies and then I top them with cream cheese frosting for the ultimate frosted sugar cookie. Add some patriotic sprinkles and you are all set for the wonderful Fourth of July celebration with friends and family.

PREP: 30 MIN
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 degrees

Cannabis Infusion:
- When I make these yummies, I use one stick of canna-butter. You get to control how potent you want your canna-butter before you decarb and make the butter
- If using a cannabis oil that is pre-made, add to the wet ingredients, including the softened butter and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer and make sure the cannabis oil isn't clumping
