    List of Ingredients

    1/2 cup butter
    1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. vanilla
    1/4 tsp. almond extract
    1/2 cup powdered sugar

    Recipe

    In a large mixing bowl combine butter and cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of the flour, sugar, egg, baking powder, vanilla, and almond extract, beat till combined. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour. Divide in half. Cover dough and chill for 1 to 2 hours or till firm.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of chilled dough at a time to 1/4" thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes. Use a drinking straw to make decorative holes or hanging holes. Transfer cutouts to an ungreased cookie sheet.

    Bake in a 350ºF oven for 8 to 10 minutes or till edges are light brown and cookies are slightly puffed. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, cool thoroughly. Use a sifter to sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

    Makes 3 dozen.

    Enjoy!!
