My granny always made these around Christmas. They are the easiest, best tasting cookies around. Be warned, they are addictive.
INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 12 ounces any flavor fruit jam
PREPARATION:
Mix cream cheese and butter well in large bowl until well blended and creamy.
Add in flour slowly, beating well after each addition. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and wrap well in cellophane. Store in fridge overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Roll out dough balls flat and place a 1/2 teaspoon full of the jam in the center. Fold sides over and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 13-15 minutes until brown and the jam starts to bubble hard. Cool for 3 minutes and place on cooling rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
