Ingredients

72 servings

•

1 cup butter, at room temperature
•

1 cup packed brown sugar
•

⅓ cup white sugar
•

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•

2 egg yolks
•

3 ounces cream cheese, cut into pieces

•

¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
•

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
•

¼ teaspoon salt
•

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
•

2 tablespoons colored decorating sugar, or as needed (Optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing for about 15 seconds after each yolk. Add cream cheese and mix until well combined. Mix in nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; beat until completely mixed. Add flour and stir just until incorporated.
Fill a cookie press with dough and press out cookies, using your favorite shape, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
