Preparation
Step 1
If you are an established cook, this is probably all of the information you will need. But fear not, I will also provide step by step instructions with pictures later on.
Secret Cream Cheese Cookies
This recipe will make approximatel 70 cookies. If you do not have a stand mixer, you should halve both the dough and the frosting recipe. the original recipe was for half this quantity, but trust me, once you bring these somewhere, they will not last and you will want to keep some for yourself.
Cream butter and cream cheese . Slowly add sugar beat until fluffy
Beat in egg yolk, add flour and vanilla. Mix Well. Chill dough
For at least 1 hour. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place on greased cookie sheet, or cookie sheet lined with a silpat. If your hands were warm or you let the dough sit at all at room temp, refridgerate again up to overnight.
Bake at 325 degrees for 15-18 mins. The cookies will not brown but should not have any tranclucent shiny parts when they are done.
Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons lime juice
4 tablespoons of butter
Cream butter and add sugar slowly add lime juice. Scoop frosting into a plastic ziplock sandwich bag, snip off the tip. Use the baggie to pipe lines of frosting on the cookies while still warm (let cookies sit about 10 minutes after being removed from oven on the pan to cool, then move them to the plate you wish to frost them on).
