Aunt Diane's holly wreaths...

This evening I started my baking to take home, barring any unforseen circumstances.

Every year my Aunt Diane makes cookies for Christmas dessert, and they are yummy! Like you could sit there and just eat them all. And no that isn't an exaggeration.

Holly Wreaths: (cookie press cookie)

Ingredients needed:

1 cup - butter (or 2 sticks) (at room temperature)
3 ounces - Philadelphia cream cheese (at room temperature)
2/4 cup - sugar
1 teaspoon - vanilla extract
2 cups- all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

For this recipe I used my handmixer. In a bowl cream butter and cream cheese until thoroughly blended. Add sugar, blend well. Add vanilla extract and blend well. Add flour and blend well.

I also added about 5 drops of green food coloring to make the cookies festive. Be sure to mix the coloring into the dough well, or you will have some white spots.

Using the star shaped plate for your cookie press, fill press with dough, press cookies onto ungreased sheet.

I added red sprinkles to my cookies.

Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on rack and voila!
