Time 50m

Yield 45 cookies, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup neufchatel cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour (for rolling out dough)
1/3 cup colored crystal sugar (for decorating)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg; set aside.
  • Place butter and cheese in a large bowl; cream using an electric mixer. Add sugar and beat until batter is pale yellow; beat in vanilla extract and egg.
  • Add about 1/3 of flour mixture and 1/3 of milk to cheese mixture; mix batter on low speed until just combined. Repeat 2 more times with remaining flour mixture and milk, until thoroughly combined into cheese mixture.
  • Shape dough into a ball and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Using your palms, press down on plastic wrap to flatten dough into a hamburger shape; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
  • Sprinkle a teaspoon of flour on a flat work surface. Pull off about 1/3 of dough and, using a rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter, cut cookies out of dough and place on ungreased baking sheets. Roll up dough scraps and add back to dough ball. Pull off another 1/3 of dough and repeat process until all dough is used - recipe will make approximately 45 cookies.
  • Sprinkle cookies with colored sugar and bake until edges just start to turn golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks and cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
