Ingredients

2½ cups All purpose flour
¾ cup Cream Cheese (room temperature)
½ cup Sugar
¾ cup Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
⅛ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Sprinkles, colored sugar crystals or candy (to top)

Instructions

In a bowl add cream cheese, unsalted butter, sugar and salt.
¾ cup Cream Cheese, ½ cup Sugar, ¾ cup Unsalted Butter, ⅛ teaspoon Salt
Cream them till the sugar melts and the mixture is pale yellow.
Add all purpose flour and vanilla extract.
2½ cups All purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Mix well till the dough comes together.
Press the dough into the cookie press fitted with a disc of your choice.
Press out cookies 1 inch apart on an un greased baking tray. Hold the press perpendicular to the tray and press the paddle so that that the cookie sticks to the tray.
Decorate with sprinkles of your choice.
2 tablespoon Sprinkles, colored sugar crystals or candy
Bake for about 10 minutes, till the edges are crisp and slightly brown.
Remove, cool for 5-6 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Store in an airtight container when completely cool.

Notes

Whip the cream cheese, butter, salt and sugar well. That is needed to get airy cookies.
Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature when you start making the cookies.
Do not over mix the dry ingredients. Only mix till the dough comes together.
Use an un-greased baking mat or tray. Greasing will prevent the cookie from sticking to the baking tray making it impossible to press them out.
Bake the cookies only till the sides begin to brown, else they will burn.
