YIELD: DEPENDING ON SIZE PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES ADDITIONAL TIME: 2 HOURS TOTAL TIME: 2 HOURS 40 MINUTES, 2-3 DOZEN COOKIES
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz package cream cheese
- 2 cups (15 oz ) granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 3/4 cups (23.75 oz ) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
directions
- In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese together scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add vanilla, egg yolk and the sugar. Mix well, yet another 1-2 minutes.
- Add salt and the flour. Mix until blended (do not overmix).
- Spread the dough into a rectangle that was thick onto a sheet of plastic wrap; pay.
- If the dough is too firm right from the fridge, allow it to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes prior to rolling (and put in there with some elbow grease to roll out it!) .
NOTES
- The whipped cream cheese frosting (celestial ) that was a part of the recipe is located on this article of the following favorite sugar cookie recipe.
- These biscuits are tender and so tender - if they're overbaked watch however they will not be!
- For all you daredevils on the market, you can try removing the frightening measure and rolling them out immediately (I know, I know, I hate waiting, also ), however the dough has always been somewhat too sticky when I have attempted to hurry it.
