Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

In large bowl, combine sugar, margarine, cream cheese, salt, almond extract, vanilla and egg yolk; blend well.

Stir in flour until well blended.

Refrigerate dough 2 hours for easier handling. Preheat oven to 375°.

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/3 at a time to 1/8-inch thickness.

Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters.

Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Leave cookies plain, or if desired, brush with slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with colored sugar.

Bake at 375° for 7 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown.

Cool for a minute or so, then carefully remove from cookie sheets.

Makes 5 to 6 dozen.
