Butter Snow Flakes

One reviewer rolled these into balls, rolled them in coconut and put some jelly in the middle for a thumbprint!

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup butter
• 1 (3oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp orange zest

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and orange zest. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Fill a cookie press or pastry bag with dough, and form cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 12-15 mins in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are golden brown on the peaks and on the bottoms. Remove from cookie sheets at once to cool on wire racks.
