Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until light and fluffy. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix well. Divide dough into quarters. Wrap each quartered dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 
• Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick on a silicone mat or a surface that has been dusted with equal parts confectioners and granulated sugars (not flour), Mom just used granulated sugar. 
• Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut dough into 2-inch squares. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon filling on center of each square. Overlap opposite corners of dough to the center over filling, pressing dough together to seal. ( Brush a tiny bit of beaten egg white on the dough where you want it to stick together to help it stick better. This will help prevent it from unsticking during baking)
• Bake for 15 minutes or when corners start to brown. Cool completely and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
