Christmas Light Sugar Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tsp. pure almond extract
• 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 recipe White Vanilla Frosting
• 3 c. all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for surface
• 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
• 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 large egg
• Candy: Blue, white, and green candy balls; crushed blue starlight mints; silver and white dragées; mint M&M's; white sanding sugar; blue and green Sixlets; crushed green and blue rock candy; white nonpareils; shoestring licorice

DIRECTIONS

1. Frist, Whisk together flour and salt. Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. 
2. Then Beat in egg and extracts. Gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour.
3. Then Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a floured surface, roll one disk of dough to 1/4" thick. 
4. Next, Cut cookies with a 3" light bulb–shaped cookie cutter. Make a hole in the top of each cookie with a skewer.
5. Then Bake until edges are golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes. Cool on pan for 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 
6. Then Repeat with remaining dough. Re-roll and cut scraps once.
7. Spread a thin layer of frosting on each cookie. Decorate with candy. Thread licorice through holes for the wire.
8. Enjoy It !
