Yield: 24 (I usually double the recipe)
1/2 c. soft butter
3 oz. soft cream cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/4 c. flour
colored sugar
M&Ms
1. Mix butter and cream cheese for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs, then vanilla. Slowly add flour. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1" balls. Roll in sugar. Place 2" apart on a cookie sheet. Snip each into half, then each half into 3. Fold down 6 petals. Sprinkle sugar in the center.
3. Bake 8-9 minutes or until sides are firm. Remove. Add one M&M to center. Transfer to wire racks and cool.
Note: These can be very fragile. They're best served at home, not transported or shipped.
