These cream cheese cookies are delicate when made with a flower cookie press, and a little sturdier if you make them as drop cookies. I like to fill the center with preserves or a chocolate chip when I make them for Christmas cookie trays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter , softened
- 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
-
2
Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Drop dough by spoonfuls or use a cookie press to place onto prepared cookie sheets. If using floral cookie press design, make an indentation in the center with a thimble, fill with preserves, or press candy into center.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cookies will still be pale. Cool cookies on baking sheets. They will harden slightly as they cool.

Huli Huli Chicken
'Huli Huli Chicken' (turn, turn) was invented by Ernest Morgado when he cooked teriyaki chicken for a group of farmers in 1955. This has been a Hawaiian staple with sticky rice ever since. This is my family's version of Huli Huli Chicken. Use aji mirin (sweet rice wine) in place of sherry if desired.
