ingredients
directions
- Cream together the maragarine and cream cheese.
- Add the sugar, egg yolks, nutmeg, and vanilla Beat until fluffy.
- Add the flour in portions; mix well. The dough will be a bit sticky, do not add extra flour!
- Chill for a minimum of 4 hours, up to two days in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven at 350°F.
- On a smooth surface, roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters!
- Place dough shapes on greased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake 9-11 minutes, or until slightly firm to the touch. Edges should not be brown.
- Cool on sheets two minutes, remove cookies to wax paper to cool completely. Note: if you use paper towels or brown paper bags, they will absorb addition grease out of the cookies, but the cookies will be drier.
- Enjoy or frost with an icing of your choice. Decorate with colored sugar if desired.
- Note: Number of servings depends on the what size cookie cutters you use. For a medium size I can get 60-70 cookies. With a larger size, only about 50-60 cookies.

I miss being able to sort through my saved recipes by rating, or even being able to search in what were my cookbooks. ?I miss the forum games/swaps/events. ?I feel sadness for all the time I wasted saving recipes that I can't find and disappointment in the people working at food.com who decided that all these changes were necessary. ?I read in the blog that read-only forums will be back when the technicalities can be worked out. ?But when will I be able to find a recipe in my own recipe box. ?What sense is there in a recipe website that doesn't allow you to search for one of your recipes? ?I used to think that I could start whittling down my collection of paper cookbooks, and hand written note cards because I could find whatever I needed online. ?Perhaps I still can, but not here. ?Thank God I didn't get rid of any of them.
