FESTIVE COOKIE DOUGH

A SCARLETT FAVORITE


Recipe Introduction


This dough may be used to make rolled cookies, crescents, balls, or my favorite, thumb print cookies with a jam filling. Chocolate chips (I use the miniature ones) or finely chopped nuts can be added when you are ready to
bake the cookies.
This is a great dough to have mixed up ahead of time for when you are wanting a quick batch of cookies. What you do with it is limited only by your imagination.


List of Ingredients






3 1/2 c. flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1- 8oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe






In medium bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl beat butter and cream cheese. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla,and almond extract; beat well.
Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Divide dough into thirds (about 2 cups each) Cover and chill overnight. Or place in moisture and vaporproof plastic bags. Seal, label and freeze up to 3 months.


The amount of cookies it will make depends on how you use it but most times will yield 2 dozen per bag.
