Instructions
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and cream cheese until well blended. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg yolk, and mix until combined.
- Add the flour and salt, and mix to form a soft dough. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thick. Cut the dough into desired shapes with cookie cutters (or the top of a cup), placing one inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake 8-10 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely before frosting.
