Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and put your cookie sheet in refrigerator to chill.
- Cream the butter and cream cheese together until well blended. Add in the sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla (or almond extract,) beating until light and fluffy.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and cardamom and slowly add it to the wet mixture, blending just until all the flour is incorporated. Don't over beat.
- Fill your cookie press with dough, and press out onto a cold cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugar or small sprinkles if desired.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or just until set. The cookies will still be pale. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before tranferring onto a rack. The cookies will be soft but will crisp up as they cool.

Notes
- You can add more cardamom if you like, but I found that one teaspoon gave the cookies a subtle flavor that actually developed overnight.
