Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 3 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instruction
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the sugar, butter, and cream cheese until well blended. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, and mix until combined. Add the flour and salt, and mix to form a soft dough. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into desired shapes with cookie cutters, placing one inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely before frosting.
