Equipment

1 Hand Mixer or stand mix

Ingredients

For The Cookies

2 cups butter softened
8 oz cream cheese softened
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
4 cups flour

For The Frosting

4 Tablespoon butter melted
2 Tablespoon water
1 ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

For The Cookies

Preheat oven to 350℉.
Mix butter and cream cheese together in large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add sugar, egg yolks, vanilla and blend well.
Stir in flour, a cup at a time.
Roll on a floured counter top with a rolling pin and roll out to about ⅓ to ½ inch thickness.
Cut into circles, using cutters (or top of glass) dipped in flour.
Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets at 350℉ for 10-12 minutes.

For The Frosting

Mix melted butter and water together.
Whisk in powdered sugar until it is the consistency you want (I used about 1 ½ cup). The frosting should be more runny than thick. Almost the consistency of syrup. The syrup will harden as it cools.
Dip the top of the cooled cookies in frosting one at a time, set on rack to harden.
Serve.

Notes

It help the dough not to be sticky, it is best to put the dough in the fridge to let rest for up to an hour before rolling it out. It doesn't have to be, but it does help with cutting out the shapes.
