Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 cup Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 oz. Nancy’s Organic Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour

Frosting

  • 4 oz. Nancy’s Organic Cream Cheese, softened
  • ½ cup Butter, softened
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • Dried Flowers, garnish

 

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup softened butter and 4 oz. cream cheese together. Add the sugar and beat the mixture until smooth.
  2. Add the egg yolk, salt, almond and vanilla extracts to the mixture and incorporate.
  3. Slowly stir in the flour.
  4. Form the dough into a ball and knead 3-5 times. Flatten slightly and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough to ½ inch thick. Turn the dough between rolls to avoid sticking.
  7. Cut the dough into shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until firm but not browned. Allow the cookies to cool on a baking rack.
  9. To make the frosting, whip 4 oz. cream cheese and ½ cup softened butter together. Slowly add the powdered sugar to the mixture and beat until smooth.
  10. Frost the cookies and sprinkle with dried flowers as desired.
