CGDCT or "cute girls doing cute things"
it usually falls under the slice-of-life umbrella
K-On!, Yuru Yuri, Joshiraku, Lucky Star, Sora no Woto [may contain depth], Hidamari Sketch, Love Live!
anything based off a VN by Key (e.g. CLANNAD, Rewrite)

This list sort of just turned into all the cute anime I like instead of just the cute girl anime, but whatever. Check out Kyoto Animation's other stuff as well, since they specialize in well-animated cute girls. Just Google "cute girls doing cute things" if you want more.

Daily Lives of High School Boys is the wacky genderflip of the genre
Madoka Magica is supa cute if you can withstand the magical stuff

Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime tend to be slice of life or comedy or both. CGDCT isn't really a genre, it's a broader aesthetic generally applied to those two genres but not exclusively to them, I can think of action shows that are CGDCT too. I'll break it down into easy categories and give you the core series for each, plus some extras.

Essential CGDCT slice of life:
Hidamari Sketch
Aria
K-On

Essential CGDCT comedy:
Nichijou
Yuru Yuri
Joshiraku

Essential CGDCT SoL/Comedy Hybrids:
Azumanga Daioh
Ichigo Mashimaro
Yuyushiki
