1 cup butter, at room temp
6 oz cream cheese, at room temp
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup fruit preserves
Cinnamon sugar
—
Mash butter and cream cheese together until uniformly mixed
Add flour, continue mixing
Cover up and store in refrigerator overnight
Remove from frig at least an hour before preparing further
Roll dough out thinly (approx 1/8” thick)
Cut with cookie cutter or similar at about 4” diameter
Spoon preserves into center of dough circles
Fold over and pinch edges
Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar immediately after removing from oven
(Note: I used 2 jams, one strawberry and one black current, a brand from France, obtained at Mississippi Market. They weren’t very sweet, which I think worked out well for this).
(Note 2: Served with vanilla ice cream turned out great!)
