These cream cheese sugar cookies are to DIE for. 
👉🏽Comment cookie for the recipe or bookmark this to come back to as I have written out the recipe below. 🤤 

They’re perfectly moist, ideal for cutting out and decorating, and have a tangy sweetness that will leave you coming back for more.

The cream cheese brings a richer, softer, and creamier sugar cookie. And, above all else, it adds a little tang.

Recipe below! Or comment cookie and I will DM it to you. 

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 3 ounces (about 6 tablespoons) cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 egg yolk, room temp
* 2 cups all purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a stand mixer, add all the sugar cookie ingredients EXCEPT the flour. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low until ingredients are light and fluffy.
2. Add in flour slowly, about 1/2 cup at a time. Continue mixing just until the dough forms as one solid ball. 
3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. On lightly floured surface, roll out 1/3 of the dough at a time to 1/4-1/8″ thickness. Using lightly floured cookie cutters, cut out shapes and place cookies 1″ apart on the baking sheet.
6. Bake each batch for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. (They will not be brown on top. Do not over bake!) Remove cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
