These cookies melt in your mouth! I usually make them for Christmas, we use different cookie cutters and then frost them but I always have to make triple batches because the kid's eat more then they frost. :-)

How To Make cream cheese sugar cookies

Step 1

In large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light & fluffy.

Step 2

Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Step 3

Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl then stir into the creamed mixture.
Step 4

Divide dough into two pieces,cover and chill until firm,about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface,roll out dough to 1/8 in. thickness. Cut in to desired shapes using cookie cutters and place the cookies at least 1 in. apart onto un-greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 7-9 min.in preheated oven,until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are firm. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wax paper.

I use butter cream frosting to ice them.If decorating and you want to color the icing use food coloring.
