Description

Ingredients

• ½ pound butter, softened slightly (2 sticks)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened slightly
• 2 cups flour, sifted
• 1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 jar preserves (not jelly), flavor of your choice

Directions

• Cream butter and cream cheese.
• Mix in flour and powdered sugar to form a smooth dough. If the dough seems too soft and buttery, I often add a ¼ cup more powdered sugar.
• Gather dough into a ball, flatten a round disk, saran wrap and chill for about 1 hour or overnight. This makes it easier to roll out and cut into circles.
• Roll dough out to somewhere between a ¼ and ½ thickness. Using a 3-4 biscuit or round cookie cutter, cut circles, rerolling the scraps until youve used all the dough.
• Place circles onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Using your thumb make a deep impression in the center of each cookie. Fill that impression with about 1 tsp of preserve. (too much preserves will cause it to overflow, still yummy, but not pretty)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until just beginning to brown on the bottom edges. 10-12 min. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar right before serving.
• Cookies can be made ahead of time and frozen. If you freeze them, dont sprinkle with powdered sugar until ready to serve.
