White Velvet Sugar Cookies

Recipe Added:  11/29/2011
2 cups butter, softened
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
4 ¾ cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
 Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
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. 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. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until set but not browned. Cool 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool. Frost as desired.

Cream Cheese Frosting  In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Set aside. In another medium bowl, beat whipped cream until stiff peaks form (use a chilled bowl and chilled beaters – and make sure the peaks are stiff not soft). Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and mix carefully but well.
