A fluffy cookie that tastes like a pastry. I use this simple recipe to cut out heart-shaped cookies for Valentine’s Day.
Original recipe makes 5 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy; gradually blend in sugar. Stir together flour and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Cover; chill dough several hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Divide dough into thirds. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough, one section at a time. (Keep the other sections refrigerated.) Cut out with cookie cutter to desired shapes.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until firm, but not brown, about 12 minutes. If desired, sift additional confectioners’ sugar over slightly warm cookies.
