White Velvet Cutouts image

We make and decorate these cutouts for different holidays and give lots of them as gifts. Last year, we baked a batch a week before Christmas to be sure we'd have plenty to give and plenty for ourselves, too. These rich cookies melt in your mouth. -Kim Hinkle, Wauseon, Ohio

Time 35m

Yield about 5-1/2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Gradually beat flour into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, 2 hours., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with floured 3-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake until set (do not brown), 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely., For frosting, in a bowl, beat butter, shortening and vanilla until blended. Beat in confectioners' sugar and enough milk to reach spreading consistency; beat until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. If desired, beat in food coloring. Frost cookies. (Keep frosting covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)

These cookies were a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make them more moist.

I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The cream cheese frosting really balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate.
