I like this recipe better than the standard sugar cookie - I feel like it has a better depth of flavor - and more origionality than a plain sugar cookie -
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup softened butter
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
In large bowl combine sugars, butter, cream cheese, salt, vanilla extract and egg ; blend well.
Stir in flour until well blended.
Chill dough for 2 hours.
Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
Scoop the cookie with a small cookie scoop
Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Leave cookie plain, or brush with lightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar.
Bake for 7-10 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool completely on wire racks.
Now for the snickerdoodle option....
To the batter stir in one teaspoon cinnamon
scoop the cookies using a cookie scoop
and then roll in cinnamon sugar
Bake as directed above.
