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

1
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.

N'Awlins Stuffed Bell Peppers
Momma's Peppers...Whenever my mother prepares this Stuffed Bell Pepper dish, everyone in the family finds an excuse to 'drop by' for a visit to my parents' home. Being a fourth generation native New Orleanian, my mother offers a plate of food to anyone who stops by for a visit...that's why this recipe makes twelve servings!
Ham and Beans
This ham and beans recipe was created by my mom, and I really enjoyed it as a child. As an adult, my taste changed just a bit, so I modified her recipe to kick it up a bit. It is fabulous even though the ingredients list is quite short! This is a must-make with leftover ham and everyone agrees it's absolutely delicious.
