Description:
These Cream Cheese Cut Out Sugar Cookies are my favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe. The cream cheese
gives these classic cookies a great flavor and helps keep them soft!

Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 1/4 cups flour

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

4 ounces butter, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:
1 In bowl of stand mixer beat cream cheese and butter until creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping sides as
necessary.
2 Add sugar and beat for an additional 3 minutes. Mixture should be fluffy and pale in color. Turn mixer to
medium-low and add in egg yolks, vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
3 Finally turn mixer to low and slowly add in flour. Mix just until all flour is incorporated.
4 Chill dough for at least 2 hours.
 5 When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
6 Remove dough from fridge and in portions, roll dough to 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Using cookie
cutters cut dough and place onto prepared baking sheet. Cookies won’t spread too much.
7 Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on how large the cookies you are baking are.
8 Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.

FROSTING

1 Cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add in powdered sugar and turn the mixer
up to medium high and beat until smooth and creamy.
2 Color with food coloring if desired.

Notes:
i Store cookies airtight at room temperature for up to a week. Or freeze for up to a month.
Store frosting refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
