Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving! I had a pretty decent one, went to my sister's and her husband made a pretty good turkey.... I don't know if it was better than mine... but it was alright haha.
Here is a recipe I made yesterday, haven't rolled them out and baked them yet but I made them last year. These are my number 1 favorite roll out sugar cookie. Enjoy! And oh yeah these are the pictures of the broken cookies, the other ones I put in the freezer without frosting until it is closer to Christmas.
Cream Cheese Cut Out Cookies
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
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.
Ease of execution: 8/10
Taste: 10/10
