Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • filling:
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp confectioners' sugar
  • glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • assorted food coloring

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and orange juice; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Shape into a ball; cover and chill for 1-2 hours or until easy to handle.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  3. Combine filling ingredients; spread on the bottom of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
  4. For glaze, combine sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Spread over tops of cookies; dry. Using a small new paintbrush and food coloring, paint holiday designs on cookie tops. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: about 2 dozen.
