PG-13 "Sugar" cookies





I was looking at a super fun blog called Howdoesshe.com

and I saw these hilarious cookies. If you want to spice up your Valentines evening, well here you go! So funny!! Here is a yummy recipe if you are in the market.

From melskitchencafe.com
White Velvet Sugar Cookies


2 cups butter, softened
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ¾ cups flour

Cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour. The dough will be VERY soft; don’t worry, it gets firmer after chilling. Cover and chill two hours or until firm. Roll out on floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes; place on greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set (but not browned). Cool 5 minutes. Place on wire racks to cool. Frost as desired.
