Instructions

4 steps

1

Place 4 TBSP butter in a small bowl; bring to room temperature. Bring cream cheese to room temperature. Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place cookie mix, butter, cream cheese, 1 egg* (save remaining egg for another use), and 4 TBSP flour in a large bowl; using your hands or a rubber spatula, mix until thoroughly combined. Split dough into two even portions. Reserve half the dough in bowl and chill in refrigerator (you’ll use it in Step 3).
2

Place 2 TBSP sugar in a small bowl. For each cookie, measure out 1 TBSP dough; roll to form a ball (you’ll make 30-35 balls). Roll each ball in sugar to lightly coat. Divide between two baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Cut corners off jam packets of your choice and pipe to fill each indentation. Transfer baking sheets to refrigerator; chill for 10 minutes. Bake until edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Reserve baking sheets; let cool completely for the next step.)
3

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and 2 TBSP sugar. Remove reserved dough from fridge. For each cookie, measure out 1 TBSP dough; roll to form a ball (you’ll make 30-35 dough balls). Roll back and forth on a clean work surface to form 5-inch-long ropes. Lightly sprinkle the work surface with cinnamon sugar. Lightly roll dough ropes in cinnamon sugar to lightly coat. Divide between cooled baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Form ropes into canes and use the back of a knife to score diagonal lines on each (like candy cane stripes!). Transfer baking sheets to refrigerator; chill for 10 minutes. Bake until cookie edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4

Let cookies cool completely and serve, or store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
