CREAM CHEESE SUGAR COOKIES
1 pkg.(8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups plain flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350. Beat cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until creamy. Add flour and baking soda; mix well. Roll dough to 1/8 thickness on lightly floured (I use powdered sugar instead of flour) surface. Cut into shapes. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 min. or until edges begin to brown. Ice with your favorite icing.

I have not tried Collette's recipe. I have made Martha's quite a few recipes-the one from her cookie magazine a few years ago. It was my favorite until I tried the no fail recipe and I like working with that a little better.

Wow, I'm just going to have to try this No-Fail recipe. I've always used Martha's but the No Fail is getting really good reviews from everyone!

Colette's calls for shortening, so I'm very reluctant to try it. Ick!!

I use the no-fail on ocassion, and I like it - but I use the Toba Butter Cookie most of the time. I love their flavor and soft texture and the way they hold their shape when baking.
Excuse my cake faux pas. I'm making this up as I go.

No good for decorating. I won't be bringing these cookies anywhere.



I use Martha's exclusively now. LOVE them! If they are spreading out--you probably aren't chililng them enough before baking. What happens with me, is I cut a bunch of them at a time, park them in the fridge and bake single sheets. They are usually in the fridge at least 1/2 hour as opposed to the 15 minutes. Just a thought.

All of the cookies in my photos are Martha's sugar and they didn't spread out on me.
