Hanukkah Cookies
INGREDIENTS
| 1/2 | cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened |
| 1 | package (3 ounces) cream cheese |
| 1/2 | cup sugar |
| 1/4 | cup honey |
| 1 | egg |
| 1/2 | teaspoon vanilla |
| 2‑1/2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1/3 | cup finely ground walnuts |
| 1 | teaspoon baking powder |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
Assorted colored icings
PREPARATION:
- Beat butter, cream cheese, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla in large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer until creamy. Stir in flour, walnuts, baking powder and salt until well blended. Form dough into ball; wrap in plastic wrap and flatten. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheets. Roll out dough, small portion at a time, to 1/4-inch thickness on floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin. (Keep remaining dough wrapped in refrigerator.) Cut dough with 2-1/2-inch dreidel-shaped cookie cutter and 6-pointed star cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
