For Cookies:
- Mix butter, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla, and sour cream together. Add dry ingredients to mixture. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate overnight. Roll out on a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth. Cut into 1/8th to 1/4th inch thickness using your favorite cookie cutters. Bake at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. May need more time if on the thicker side. Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to apply icing.
-
For icing:
- Cream butter, cream cheese, and vanilla together. Gradually add powder sugar until blended. Thin with milk to desired consistency. If adding coloring paste, you may not need milk to thin.
- After icing cookies, lay flat in the fridge until set. Then store in a airtight container with a small square of wax paper between cookies. Store in fridge until ready to serve.

My husband makes these cookies for the holidays and has renamed the cookies "The Irresistibles". He rolls the dough out thick (about 1/4") and they puff up and are very tender. I have to admit, they are quite good. Everyone loves them and it's hard to eat just one. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Marianne!

I made these for a potluck picnic today and we all loved them! I found the dough so easy to manage when rolling and cutting out the shapes (I dusted the board with powdered sugar instead of flour to prevent crumbling and that worked very nicely too) and the icing took to coloring perfectly. The cookies and icing were delicious and with a standard-size cookie cutter, I actually yielded just over 70 cookies from the recipe. Thank you tremendously! Terrific recipe!

I've been searching for the perfect Christmas sugar cookie cut-out recipe and have found it! These are delicious! The cream cheese icing makes them such an indulgent treat, rather than just a thoughtless sugar fix like so many sugar cookies. My only suggestions to the recipe would be to cream the butter and sugar before adding remaining ingredients, and chill the dough already flattened somewhat, so it's easier to roll out later.
