Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Egg yolk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined and light in texture, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Step 7
Load the dough into a cookie press fitted with your desired disc design. Press cookie shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden color.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Optional: Decorate the cookies with colored sugars, sprinkles, or melted chocolate for added flair.
