Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • 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.
