Ingredients
Cookies
2 cups Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large Land O Lakes® Eggs (yolks only)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon raspberry or almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 12 cups (540 grams) all-purpose flour
Icing
2 cups (200 grams) powdered sugar
3 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
14 teaspoon flavor extract (almond, raspberry, orange, vanilla, etc.)

15 drops white food color, if desired
How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg yolks, salt, raspberry extract and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Divide dough into 3 disks; chill 4 hours.
-
STEP 2
Heat oven to 375°F.
-
STEP 3
Roll 1 piece dough to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness on well-floured surface. (Keep other pieces refrigerated.) Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Leave cookies plain for frosting or sprinkle with colored sugar before baking, pressing sugar into dough with back of spatula.
-
STEP 4
Bake 7-10 minutes or until just beginning to lightly brown around edges. Cool completely before frosting.
-
STEP 5
Meanwhile, combine all icing ingredients in bowl; stir until blended. Transfer icing to squeeze bottle for filling (or piping bag for outlining). Frost or outline cooled cookies.
Tip #1
If you are icing all of the cookies, you may need to make two batches of the icing–one for "flooding" (filling in) and one for outlining.
