Best Spritz Cookie Recipe Ever!!!!

So my venture into adding peppermint and chocolate into the spritz cookies really didn't work well (although the kids are eating them). I did find this AWESOME recipe for Spritz cookies that I ended up making for Mike to take to the cookie swap tomorrow and I had to share...

1 cup butter (softened)
3 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Add flour, salt and cinnamon and beat until well blended. Put dough in a cookie press and press out onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sprinkles or sugar if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until edges brown.

Enjoy!!! Tomorrow...cream cheese squares!

That divinity is mighty tasty too. The kids were chasing me around the house wanting "spoons!" LOL!
