How to make cream cheese sugar cookies:

In large bowl combine sugar, margarine, cream cheese, salt, almond extract, vanilla and egg yolk; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour until well blended. Chill dough 2 hours. Heat oven to 375°. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/3 at a time to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Leave cookies plain or, if desired, brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely. Frost and decorate, if desired. Makes 5 to 6 dozen cookies.
