- 1 pkg (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda

Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and extracts. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to l/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Decorate as desired.
