Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies image

Another one of my favorite cutout recipes. I find this dough to be very easy to work with....especially when cutting out small or intricate shapes. I like to make these cookies thicker than my other cutouts. They're great for decorating and icing, too! Prep time does NOT include time for dough to chill. Makes about 4-5 dozen; depending on size and thickness of your shapes.

Time 20m

Yield 4-5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and almond extracts; beat well.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour and baking powder- gradually mix into cream cheese mixture; beat until well-mixed.
  • Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 1/2 hours.
  • When dough is done chilling, preheat oven to 375.
  • Roll dough on to lightly floured surface to about 1/8"-1/4" thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. (If desired, sprinkle with colored sugars.) Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until edges just slightly golden. Allow to cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool. If desired, decorate with icing or glaze.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly.

I had trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.
