      Ingredients
      3 cup all-purpose flour
      1 tsp baking soda
      2 tsp baking powder
      1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
      1/4 cup butter
      1/4 cup Neufchatel cheese
      1 cup sugar, granulated
      1 tsp vanilla extract
      1 large egg(s)
      1/2 cup fat-free skim milk
      1 tsp all-purpose flour
      1/3 cup sugar, colored (for decorating)
      Instructions
      Preheat oven to 350?F.

      Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and nutmeg in a medium
      bowl; set aside.

      Place butter and cheese in a large bowl; cream using an electric
      mixer. Add sugar and beat until batter is pale yellow; beat in
      vanilla extract and egg.

      Add about 1/3 of flour mixture and 1/3 of milk to cheese mixture; mix
      batter on low speed until just combined. Repeat with remaining flour
      and cheese mixtures.

      Shape dough into a ball and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Using
      your palms, press down on plastic wrap to flatten dough into a
      hamburger shape; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.

      Sprinkle a teaspoon of flour on a flat work surface. Pull off about
      1/3 of dough and, using a rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/8-inch
      thickness. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter, cut cookies out of
      dough and place on ungreased baking sheets. Roll up dough scraps and
      add back to dough ball. Pull off another 1/3 of dough and repeat
      process until all dough is used ? recipe will make approximately 45
      cookies.

      Sprinkle cookies with colored sugar and bake until edges just start
      to turn golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks
      and cook completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
      Notes
      Make these cookies any shape you want. You can sprinkle them with
      colored sugar as we’ve done here or make colored icing and paint on
      your own designs (may affect POINTS values). To ice the cookies, bake
      them without the colored sugar topping. While they are cooling,
      combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
      and 1 to 3 teaspoons of hot water in a small bowl. Divide icing in
      half and add drops of different food coloring to each half; paint
      designs on cookies using small painting or basting brushes.
