Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies image

There are so many things we love about this Christmas cookie cutout recipe. It doesn't make a ton of cookies and is easy to throw together - perfect if you just want a little treat. The cookie itself is sweet, tender, buttery and has a richness thanks to the cream cheese. By itself, it's a delicious Christmas cookie. We love that...

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c sugar
1 c butter, softened
3 oz cream cheese, softened (do not use low fat or fat free...the consistency won't be right!)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 c all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, extracts, and egg yolk.
  • 2. Blend well.
  • 3. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup, and level off to measure.
  • 4. Stir in flour until blended.
  • 5. Cover with plastic wrap and shape into a disk. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
  • 6. Heat oven to 350. On a lightly floured board, roll out dough, 1/3 at a time, to 1/8 inch thickness. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated).
  • 7. Cut into desired shapes with floured cutters. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Leave cookies plain or sprinkle with sugar crystals at this point. Bake for 7- 10 minutes or until a light golden brown.
  • 8. Immediately remove from sheets and cool on wire racks.
  • 9. Cool completely. Frost and decorate as desired. Enjoy!
