I have made tons of cut out cookies using all kinds of recipes for sugar cookies and this is by far numero uno in my collection. The dough is very easy to work with and the cookies keep their shape while they are baking. Read more . And last but not least they taste really good; not at all like the (in my opinion) very bland traditional sugar cookie. Ingredients:
1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese (room temp) |
1 cup real butter (room temp) |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1/3 cup white sugar |
2 cups flour (all purpose) |
1/2 tsp. vanilla flavoring or your favorite |
Directions:
1. Cream cheese, butter, sugars and flavoring in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
2. Gradually add flour and mix well.
3. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. (Very important step)
4. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake at 350ยบ for 8 to 10 minutes.(the edges should be lightly browned)
6. Cool for 2 minutes and transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
7. Decorate as desired when cookies have cooled completely. (powdered sugar frosting)
