DANIELLE'S CREAM CHEESE CUT-OUT COOKIES



Danielle's Cream Cheese Cut-Out Cookies image

We're not found of overly sweet desserts in my home. At holiday time I love to relax and carefully decorate a platter of sugar cookies. I've found that this tangy non-too-sweet cookie recipe fits the bill perfectly! My mother found this recipe in the Syracuse Herald-American many years ago. We both have been making this recipe every Christmas since then. I also love to make them for summertime holidays using summertime cookie cutters. Prep time includes short end of chill time. You can substitute a little fresh squeezed lemon juice for the water in the icing recipe if you wish, too. You can also skip chilling in the fridge and put the dough right into a cookie press. ADDED 12/13/08 - We use the royal icing recipe so that these cookies can be stacked after they are decorated. Royal icing is a hard, crisp icing that gives these cookies a nice snap when you bite into them.

Time 2h25m

Yield 30-36 cookies, 30-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup salted butter, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Good quality pure extract is worth it!)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon meringue powder
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons water, lukewarm

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar.
  • Add the egg and vanilla, mix well.
  • Switch beater hooks for dough hooks on your mixer.
  • Stir baking power into flour then add to butter mixture. Beat well until flour is incorporate. Scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Take care not to over-mix.
  • Divide dough into at least 4 balls and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in fridge for at least 2 hours. Can also be frozen. Allow to come to fridge temperature before rolling.
  • I like to make these on the thick side so the tang of the cream cheese can really be tasted. I roll mine just over 1/4" thick. Cut out as many cookies as possible from the first "sheet" of dough. Gather the scraps and put them back into the plastic wrap. Reserve all scraps for rolling later after they chill again. Put your cookies on a cookie sheet. I have never had a problem using an ungreased sheet. Cookies will not spread so they can be placed very close together.
  • OPTIONAL STEP: Put the cookie sheet with your raw cookies into the fridge for about 3 minutes. This keeps the edges very crisp and square. They will not soften and round in the oven.
  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake first batch and set timer for 8 minutes. Check at this point and see if they still look shiny. If so, add 1 more minute. Should not take longer than 10 minutes.
  • Let cookies cool and prepare icing. Mix icing ingredients in a small bowl with a spoon. Scrape the sides to incorporate all the sugar.
  • Spread icing on cookies with an icing spatula or dip the tines of a serving fork into the icing and drizzle over the cookies. Color and add crunch with decorating sugars.

I love this recipe because it is so easy to roll out, and the taste is great. This is our favorite Christmas cookie recipe to make, but I also make them for Easter and Halloween. Sometimes I ice them or just sprinkle with colored sugar while they bake. I always double this recipe for us.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the cream cheese. Look for cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable, with no lumps or grains.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is cold before using it. This will help it hold its shape better when cutting out the cookies.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the cookies tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the cookies keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese cut-outs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious cookies that are sure to be a hit with everyone.
