Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or hand mixer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie cutter
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup fruit preserves or jam any flavor
  • Powdered sugar for dusting, optional

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into two portions, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Roll and Fill

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out one dough disc to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place a small amount of fruit preserves (about 1/2 teaspoon) in the center of each cutout.
  • Gently fold one edge of the dough over the filling to create a foldover shape, pressing lightly to seal the edges.

Bake and Cool

  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Add Finishing Touches

  • Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet and decorative finish (optional).

Notes

Tips

  1. Chill the dough: Ensure the dough is well-chilled to make rolling easier and prevent sticking.
  2. Seal the edges: Lightly press the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  3. Experiment with fillings: Try nut spreads, chocolate chips, or cream cheese frosting for variety.
