They can be filled with any of your favorite jams — your own delicious homemade fruit jam would just bring them to a whole new level.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 x cup of butter (room temperature)
- 1 x 8oz block of cream cheese
- 1 x egg yolk (**reserve egg white for later use)
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- Bowl of sugar to roll the cookies in as soon as they come out of the oven (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325
- Mix all ingredients by hand ( * add more flour in very small amounts as needed)
- Place in fridge for 1 1/2 hours or overnight
- Roll out dough
- Cut out small round circles
- Place about 1/4 tsp of jam in the middle
- Brush on reserved egg white
- Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes
- As soon as you remove them from the oven toss them gently in a bowl of sugar!
TIP: by brushing on the egg white around the seam it will help to seal the edges. Then you will press down firmly with your finger tips and seal the ends firmly. The egg whites help ensure that your cookies stay sealed during the baking process -- some cookies may leak jam BUT thats ok they taste just the same.
