Jane's Lemon Cut-Out Cookies (makes about 5 dozen 2-inch cookies)

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 3oz package cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cup unsifted flour

Combine all ingredients except flour; beat until well blended; beat in flour.

Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic; chill at least 1 hour.

On well-floured surface, knead one dough portion into a smooth ball. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into shapes. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated 375 degree over 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned at edges. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Decorate like cut-out cookies using Lemon Glaze and colored sugars. Or just sprinkle on colored sugars before baking.

Lemon Glaze: With mixer, beat 4 cups unsifted confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Add additional amounts of lemon for a thinner consistency if desired. Divide glaze and tint with fool colorings. Makes 1 1/3 cup.
