Hi ladies! So I came across this fabulous recipe the other day. My kids love the tradition of doing sugar cookies for Valentines Day, St Patricks Day, Halloween and Christmas. So I am always looking for a good recipe. I knew I found my match when I saw the cream cheese in this recipe! :) They are super yummy. I usually double the recipe.... Enjoy!
Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
3 oz cream cheese, softened (I use whipped)
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp nutmeg (I just do a tiny bit, only because nutmeg isn't my favorite)
Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Beat in egg yolk and extracts. Combine flour, salt, baking soda and nutmeg and gradually add to cream mixture. Cover and refrigerate for a couple hours. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 in thickness. Place 1 inch apart on un-greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until you see shine on top of cookie disappear. Do not overcook. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Cream Cheese makes everything so much better!
