How to Make White Velvet Cutout Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll out.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use cookie cutters to cut out 3-inch shapes.
  8. Place the cut-out cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them.
  11. Carefully remove the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite white velvet buttercream frosting (recipe #48001).
