CREAM CHEESE CUT-OUT COOKIES
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.

CREAM CHEESE CUT-OUT COOKIES
I just LOVE cookie dough that has cream cheese in it! I usually make a cream cheese frosting to decorate them with as well....so rich & YUMMY! *SORRY!...This pix is not mine.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese until well blended. Add the sugar; blend until fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract and baking powder; beating well. Add the flour to the mixture; mix until well blended. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
- 2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough to desired thickness (1/4 inch works well) on a lightly floured surface. Using cookie cutters, cut out dough into desired shapes. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I use parchment paper lined cookie sheets).
- 3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Frost and decorate, if desired.
Tips:
- Use softened cream cheese: This will make it easier to mix and spread. You can soften cream cheese by microwaving it for a few seconds or by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape better. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a variety of cookie cutters: This will give your cookies a fun and festive look. You can use holiday-themed cookie cutters, animal-shaped cookie cutters, or even just round cookie cutters.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can top your cookies with a variety of things, such as sprinkles, colored sugar, chopped nuts, or even mini chocolate chips.
- Don't overbake the cookies: They should be baked until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese cutouts are a delicious and versatile cookie that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and festive cookies that will impress your friends and family.
