Cream Cheese Spritzes

eight ounces cream cheese
one cup butter
one cup granulated sugar
1.5 tsp. vanilla
2.25-2.5 cups flour

Cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Mix
in flour until well blended.  Spoon dough into cookie press.  Press
dough onto cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.

You can put a few drops of food coloring in and mix well before
spooning into the press; this makes a lively colored display.  Or you
can decorate them with various little cookie decorating things.  Or,
you can just have them plain.

These are sufficiently high in fat that if you use a warm cookie
sheet (for example the one that just came out of the up in that you
took cookies off of), they will have trouble getting out of the press
and onto the sheet.  I always use a fresh clean cold cookie sheet for
each batch, even though this makes for more dishwashing.
