About This Recipe
“I have had this recipe for so long that I can’t remember where it came from, but I think I got it out of a magazine or newspaper. I like it because you can use the dough in so many different ways. For the Holidays, you can press half of a candied cherry in the center of unbaked cookie, and then after baking drizzle with either white or dark chocolate, melted.”
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
- 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese

- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
- Cream sugar, butter, cream cheese until fluffy.
- Add egg and flavorings.
- Beat until smooth.
- Add flour and baking powder, mixing well.
- Drop dough by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten with a flat bottomed drinking glass which has been dipped in sugar.
- OR: Force dough through a cookie press.
- OR: Chill dough 1 to 1 1/2 hours and roll out on lightly floured surface.
- Cut with cookie cutters.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or slightly less if you like a not-so-crispy cookie.
