You can create up to five timers

17.5-ounce package dry sugar cookie mix

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or other flavoring

1 cup all-purpose flour

 

Royal Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon meringue powder

Water, for icing consistency

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Combine the cookie mix with the cream cheese until crumbly. Mix in the eggs and flavoring until well combined. Add enough flour to make a firm dough that can be rolled out. Roll dough out on lightly floured board to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out snow flakes, doves, or other desired shapes.

 

Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes.

 

While the cookies are baking, make the icing by combining powdered sugar and meringue powder. Add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches desired consistency.

 

Decorate cookies with royal icing. Allow to dry for 1 hour.

 

Cook's Note: To make the cookies into ornaments, use a toothpick or chopstick to form a hole in the dough at the top of the design before baking. Make the hole large enough to be sure it doesn't close up during baking. Remember to clear the hole before icing hardens.

    I've made these the last two years and they've been very good. Certainly easy! The added flour keeps them from spreading too much and losing their shape when baking. My one change (and I don't think I'd make these cookies without it: For added flavor, instead of using all vanilla extract, I use half vanilla extract and half almond extract. This makes a big difference. I also use almond extract rather than vanilla in the royal icing, which makes the cookies much more flavorful as well.

    It was really easy, but it did take more flour since the dough was so sticky. I think this added flour made it more bland.
    They were just ok. The icing made them taste better, but they still were not a hit with my friends and family. Next time I will stick with just the regular mix.
    They did not leave me wanting more ... better for my waistline anyway.

    I thought these cookies were adorable but I wasn't thrilled with the taste. I made one batch Sandra's way and one batch according to the packaged cookie mix directions - the mix recipe was much better. I still used the royal icing recipe and was pleased with the way the decorated cookie looked.
