White Velvet Cutout Cookies
Ingredients:

1 pound butter
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups flour

Instructions:
Cream butter and cream cheese with mixer. Add sugar, egg yolks, and
vanilla - beat until well-mized. Gradually add flour while continuing
to mix well. Chill at least 4 hours, covered.

Roll our a small portion at a time on a floured board. Roll them sort
of thin. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Bake in 350 F
oven on ungreased Cushionaire cookie sheets for 10-12 minutes. Be
careful not to overbake. They should be only VERY lightly browned. Let
sit on pans for 2 minutes so they do not bend. Remove to wire cooling
racks. Frost with buttercream icing.

Serving Ideas : Make at Christmas, Valentines, Easter, Halloween,
anytime!

NOTES : Original recipe called for margarine - butter is much better.
Use real vanilla extract too. Can add almond extract for extra zip.
