1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream
cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1 In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cream
cheese, salt, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg yolk. Beat
until smooth. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill the
dough for 8 hours, or overnight.
2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/3 at
a time to 1/8 inch thickness, refrigerating remaining
dough until ready to use. Cut into desired shapes with
lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on
ungreased cookie sheets. Leave cookies plain for frosting, or
brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with candy
sprinkles or colored sugar.
4 Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or
until light and golden brown. Cool cookies completely before frosting.
