WHITE VELVET SUGAR COOKIES

Oh, white velvet sugar cookies. You kill me! Or in other words: I can’t stop eating you.

Completely buried in my archives (I posted about these amazing white velvet sugar cookies waaaaay back in 2009 when life was different and my pictures were terrible – see bottom of this post for proof), these unique and delicious sugar cookies deserve a little shout out.

My best friend from high school, Amanda, shared this recipe way back in the dinosaur ages when most of my friends actually had family blogs and actually updated them and I actually didn’t have to ever check Facebook to see if my long-distance friends were pregnant or moving or running a marathon.

Those were the days.

If I remember right, I made these divine cookies for a baby blessing luncheon just days after she put the recipe on her family blog. My family went wild for them (<–understatement of the year), and I’ve been making them since.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups (16 ounces, 4 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature
• 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 cups (15 ounces) granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 3/4 cups (23.75 ounces) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large mixing bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
2. Add the sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Mix well, another 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the flour and salt. Mix until combined (don’t overmix).
