STEPS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing for about 15 seconds after each yolk.

Add cream cheese and mix until well combined. Mix in nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt; beat until completely mixed. Add flour and stir just until incorporated.

Fill a cookie press with dough and press out cookies, using your favorite shape, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle with colored sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
