These small, colorful cookies have a wonderful cream cheese taste and are fun to make during any holiday season. I use my good ol' non-electric spritz cookie maker because it wasn't a pretty sight using an electric one. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
3 ounce cream cheese, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg yolk |
1 teaspoon real vanilla |
2 1/2 cups sifted flour |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and cream cheese.
2. Gradually add sugar.
3. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla.
4. Blend in flour.
5. Knead dough with hands until pliable.
6. I divide dough into bowls and use a little food coloring to make what colors I want for the shapes I'll use with the spritz maker.
7. Before baking, decorate cookies with a little colored sugar.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
9. Recipe says it makes 8 dozen but I usually end up with 72-84 cookies.
10. For this recipe, I do use air-bake pans. The cookies bake really well on them.
11. Have fun and enjoy.
