1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

1 cup Butter

1 (3 ounce) package Cream cheese, softened

1 cup White sugar

1 Egg yolk

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon Orange zest

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and orange zest. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Fill a cookie press or pastry bag with dough, and form cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
