Christmas Cookie Recipe

With all of the strong flavors in the previous cookie recipes, I decided to go with something a little more mellow today. This cookie doesn't have a lot of spice or fancy ingredients, but it doesn't lack in taste! These cookies go nicely with some coffee or tea.

Preheat oven to 400

Ingredients:

1 Cup butter, softened

1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened at room temperature

2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

Pinch of salt

Red and Green decorator sugar crystals

Assorted candies and sprinkles (optional)

Process:

Cream butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.

Stir in vanilla.

Combine flour and salt in a small bowl, gradually add to creamed mixture, beating well until blended. Shape dough into a ball and chill completely.

Press dough from a cookie press 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet using desired shape discs. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Decorate with desired candies and sprinkles, if desired. Yields about 4 dozen.

It seems if you put cream cheese in cookies you get something rather tasty and spectacular. Wow!

I love all your cookie recipes and am supposed to bake soon with a friend. By New Year's Day we will both weigh 900 pounds but it will be well earned and well enjoyed.

Thanks again!

I know! I loooove cream cheese! I'm glad I've already tried most of these recipes in previous years cuz if I was making all of these on the days that I publish them...whew 900lbs would seem like super-model thin! I'm so glad you're enjoying them-baking is one of my favorite things to do. I'm glad I've found a way to share it with others!
