Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

Cream together:
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup of unsalted real butter

Add:
1 8oz cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract (I didn't use this and they're still really good)
3 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder

Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat oven to 375. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough 1/2 at a time to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 5-7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light and golden brown (and very doughy). Cool cookies completely before frosting. Make sure you frost with Anna Mae's icing, or else.
