Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 30 drops red food color
  • 1 egg
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • Red sugar, if desired
  • About 3 dozen yellow candy-coated chocolate candies or other small yellow candies
Make With
Gold Medal Flour

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Beat butter, sugar, vanilla, food color, egg and cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
  • Step 
    2
    Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll in red sugar. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Step 
    3
    Heat oven to 375°F. Place balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Make 6 cuts with sharp knife in top of each ball about three-fourths of the way through to make 6 wedges. Spread wedges apart very slightly to form flower petals (cookies will separate and flatten as they bake).
  • Step 
    4
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set and edges begin to brown. Immediately press 1 candy in center of each cookie. Carefully remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
