How to Make Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined and light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt (or less, to taste).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 25 minutes (or up to 2 days).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using a cookie press fitted with your desired tip, press the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle with colored sugar crystals, sprinkles, or other desired decorations.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Watch carefully as oven temperatures vary.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks before serving or storing.
