Cream Cheese Cut-Outs II

I made these following the directions and ingredients posted by another reviewer. I used 8 oz of cream cheese. They were great!!

The first batch I made, I had followed the instructions with no substitutions. The dough is sticky, but workable by adding flour to your counter and rolling pin. After baking and tasting a plain cookie it didn't really have much taste. I added frosting and that is what sold the cookie. There were a few reviews out there that said this didn't have much taste- take it into consideration if you want a plain (no frosting, topping) cookie. The second batch I added 1tsp of vanilla extract and the taste was right on. The third batch I added 1/2 tsp almond extract, which was, again, very good. My family and coworkers loved this, though so into the recipe box it goes.
