Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2-1/2 cups flour
1 cup apricot cake and pastry filling
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Steps:

Beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually add flour, mixing well after each addition.
Divide dough into 4 balls. Flatten each to 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Heat oven to 350°F. Roll out 1 disk on lightly floured surface to 8-inch square; cut into 16 (2-inch) squares. Place, 1 inch apart, on baking sheet.
Spoon about 3/4 tsp. apricot filling onto center of each pastry square. Gather 2 opposite corners of pastry square over filling; press together gently to seal.
Bake 12 to 15 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 3 min. Remove from baking sheet to wire rack; cool completely. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining dough and apricot filling.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
