Instructions
- Beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2~3 minutes in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer. Make sure to scrape the edges.1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature, 2 oz. Cream Cheese, at room temperature, 1 cup Granulated Sugar

- In the meantime, whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.3 cups All purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Once the dough comes together, turn off the mixer and divide the dough into 2 pieces. If you want to make the cookies later, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 1 month*.
- If making right away, then place the dough ball between 2 large pieces of parchment and roll out into ¼"~⅛" thick rectangle. Place the rolled out dough in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and cut out the cookies using your favorite cookie cutters. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8~12 minutes depending on the thickness of the cookies. Re-roll the scraps and cut out more cookies.
- Remove the baked cookies from the oven onto a wire rack. Using a spatula place them on a wire rack to cool completely before decorating. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
- Place the dough in the fridge to thaw overnight. Then roll out the dough and put it back in the fridge for 1 hour. Then follow the rest of the instructions as in the recipe.
