These cookies are delicate when made with a press, or hardy when dropped by spoonfuls. I fill centers of press cookies with preserves or a chocolate chip for added variety.

CREAM CHEESE BUTTER COOKIES

Solid, stick-to-your-rib cookies that hold molds and impressed images beautifully. Modified from House On The Hill. These are wonderful with hot tea or coffee, and my 3 yr old son loves them, even when I forgot the lemon oil.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 lemon, rind of, finely grated
1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional) or 1 teaspoon orange oil (optional)

  • Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are JUST turning light brown around the edges. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Once cooled completely, they can be stored in airtight containers.
