Method

In a large bowl, combine sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, vanilla and egg yolk, then blend well. Stir in flour until well blended. Refrigerate dough for 2 hours. Heat oven to 375 degrees; on a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/3 at a time to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with lightly floured cookie cutters. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Leave cookie plain, or if desired, sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
