Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 18 minutes
Servings 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Powder sugar for dusting
- ¾ cup jam I used raspberry for this recipe
Instructions
-
Blend the butter and cream cheese together at medium speed.
-
Add sugar, egg and extracts.
-
Mix the flour and baking powder together.
-
Add the flour and baking powder into the creamed mixture. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds. Be careful to not over mix.
-
Chill dough in fridge for 1 hour.
-
Roll out dough on floured surface until ¼ inches thick (this is important).
-
Cut the dough with the desired cookie cutter shape. I cut half out with the full snowflake shape and the other half with a smaller snowflake cutout in the middle.
-
Place cut out cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool on rack and when cookies are room temperature place a thin layer of jam on the full cutout cookie and then top with the cookie containing the cut out shape.
Recipe Notes
The key to making a good sugar cookie is to make sure that you cut the cookies thick enough and then don't over cook them!
