Cream Cheese Cookie Delights
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Gather all the necessary ingredients and have them ready to use.
2
Then, combine sugar, butter, cream cheese, egg yolk, salt, almond extract, and vanilla in a large bowl using an electric mixer until everything is well blended.
3
Next, gradually incorporate flour into the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough.
4
Divide the dough into three equal parts and shape each portion into a flat disk. Wrap them snugly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an extended period, ideally 8 hours or overnight.
5
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
6
With one disk at a time, roll it out on a surface lightly dusted with flour to an incredibly thin layer; keep the other disks chilled until you're ready to roll them.
7
Use your cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes from the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie. Place them on ungreased baking sheets.
8
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until they're lightly golden brown. Halfway through the baking time, switch the racks in your oven to ensure even cooking.
9
Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks for cooling.
10
Finally, allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.
