Method

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, egg yolks and vanilla and mix well. Gradually add flour. Cover and chill 2 hours or until firm. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch shapes and place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until set but not browned. Cool 5 minutes and remove to wire racks to cool. Frost cookies. For frosting, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, shortening, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of milk in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
