Sparkle cut out Cookies

It's National Cookie Cutter Day!  Who would think they would make December 2nd a special cookie cutter day?  So being it is that Special Cookie Cutter lol  Day here are my Sparkle Cut out cookies to share.

My grandchildren love them!  A tender not too sweet cookie treat.

 This is a great fun recipe.  Make a memory!



1- 8 oz. package Cream Cheese softened
1- cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
dash salt ( I use salted butter so I eliminate this)
colored sugar

Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, butter and vanilla. Mix with electric mixer until smooth.  Add flour and salt. Chill.  On a floured surface roll out dough to 1/8"thickness.  Cut out with assorted 3"inch cookie cutters.

Place on un greased cookie sheet. Decorate with colored sugar or candies.

Bake 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and store in cool area.  This recipe makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen.
