Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.

Step 2

Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Drop dough by spoonfuls or use a cookie press to place onto prepared cookie sheets. If using floral cookie press design, make an indentation in the center with a thimble, fill with preserves, or press candy into center.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cookies will still be pale. Cool cookies on baking sheets. They will harden slightly as they cool.
