Snowflake Christmas Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius. Next, combine flour, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl, whisking them together until well incorporated. Set the mixture aside for later use.
2
In a separate bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar to the mixture, followed by an egg yolk. Continue beating the ingredients until they become light and fluffy in texture.
3
Add a hint of vanilla and orange zest to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Now, incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixture, blending them together until a smooth dough forms.
4
Using a cookie press or pastry bag, fill it with the dough and shape cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet.
5
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both the peaks and bottoms. Remove the cookies from the baking sheet immediately to cool on wire racks.
