Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Add food coloring, if desired. Beat until well blended. Refrigerate the frosting for an hour or two to make it stiffer and easier to work with. (optional)
I No longer buy sugar cookies. These are so much like the Yummy ones!

I may have to try this recipe! So perfect for the season.
This is the recipe that I've got that's been handed down from my Grandma. I used to have a roommate who would request that I send her a batch of them every Christmas. They are soooo good and they retain their moisture, unlike other sugar cookies. If you're in a rush (like I am most of the time), you can skip the home made frosting and do the Betty Crocker ready made cream cheese frosting. The kids love to decorate them.
I made these and they are soooo good! Thanks for sharing.

These were super... frosting and all!
