Cream Cheese Cookie Press Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Beat butter and cream cheese well.
2. Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
3. Using a cookie press, place cookies on a baking sheet.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes until light brown.

Notes

You can use almond extract instead of the lemon extract.

A nice Christmas touch is to tint the dough with green food coloring, then sprinkle the cookies with red sugar before baking.
