Description

Light and delicious, these unique sugar cookies hold their shape amazingly well during baking!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 package (8 Oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4-¾ cups Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour and salt. The dough will be VERY soft; don’t worry, it gets firmer after chilling.

Cover and chill two hours or until firm. Roll out on a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into shapes. Place on greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper).

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until set (but not browned). Cool for 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool. Frost as desired.

I tried these today and they were delish! Used an old standby to frost.
4 C. Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. cooking oil
2 Tbsp. Karo Syrup
1/4 C. Water
2 tsp. real vanilla
Paste type food color
Mixed all together until creamy and frosted.
Added Sprinkles and they were a hit with everyone.

Next time I’ll try buttercream.

Thank you so much.

I found them to be cakey, but if this is how they are meant to be then they were great!

These were so yummy. I posted in the comments area yesterday (I’m just trying this rating thing out). I love trying sugar cookie recipes and I loved it. I left the ingredients for the frosting I used in the comments area also.
Thanks for the recipe.
