Roll out dough 1/4" to 1/2" thick on surface sprinkled with powdered sugar or flour. Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheet or parchment paper. Bake 6-8 minutes & cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting:
2 (8oz) pkgs. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2c Butter, softened
2c Sifted Powdered Sugar (it's fine not sifted, just a little lumpy)
