Zubereitung von Easter Sugar Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 4 ounces softened cream cheese, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (plus 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm enough to handle.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter (dipped in flour to prevent sticking) to cut out cookies.
- Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate as desired (optional). These cookies are delicious on their own!
