Jam Kolaches

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese

1-1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour

about:

1/2 cup strawberry jam

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

      Heat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).  Cream butter and cream cheese, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Add flour to creamed mixture, mixing well.  Roll dough to 1/8" thick on a lightly floured surface; cut into rounds with a 2-1/2" cookie cutter.  Place on lightly-greased cookie sheets.  Spoon 1/4 tsp. jam on each cookie; fold opposite sides to center, slightly overlapping edges.  Bake 15 minutes.  Cool on wire racks, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.  Makes about 3-1/2 dozen.
