    Recipe Introduction


    "A soft, chewy, and flavorful sugar cookie. It is very important to chill the dough, as it is too sticky to roll unless well chilled." Original recipe yield: 6 dozen.

    List of Ingredients




    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

    Recipe



    1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, almond and vanilla extracts, and egg yolk.
    2. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill the dough for 8 hours, or overnight.

    3.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
    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.
