How to Make Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Beat in the granulated sugar and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight for easier handling).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate as desired with icing, sprinkles, or other toppings.
