From an old Betty Crocker desserts cookbook, arises this irresistible family holiday classic mini cookie. The image was borrowed from the web since these disappear faster than a camera shutter in our house.
Servings: 6 desserters
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1⁄2 cup jelly
Instructions
- Cream butter and cheese together. Mix in sugar.
- Combine flour and salt. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Divide dough into rough thirds. Roll flat on flour-dusted surface. Cut into 2 1⁄2″ square shapes.
- Move pieces to cookie sheet with parchment. Place dot of jelly in center of each square and bring up set of diagonal corners and pinch to seal.
- Bake in 375°F oven about 10-13 minutes.
Notes
- Using parchment will spare your cookie sheet from boiling jelly spill-over which is very hard if not impossible to get off.
- Sometimes the dough is dry from rolling; to get a better seal when closing use a drop of water.
I loved eating these growing up, one of my favorite all-time cookies. Thank you for the recipe!
