This is my very favorite sugar cookie recipe. It is so delicious. Delicious enough to eat without frosting, although so, so good with frosting, too. :-)
One other thing: My best friend when baking is parchment paper. Lay some down on your cookie sheet, and you will always be able to get your cookies off easily!
2 cups butter, softened
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 1/2 - 4 ¾ cups flour
Cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour. The dough will be VERY soft; don’t worry, it gets firmer after chilling. Cover and chill two hours or until firm. Roll out on floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes; place on greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set (but not browned). Cool 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool. Frost as desired.
