Steps:
- Combine butter, softened cream cheese and sugar, mixing until well blended. Add combined dry ingredients; mix well. Knead ten to fifteen times to form stiff dough; chill. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut into squares with a knife, about 2-3 inches across, depending on what size you want your cookies to be when finished. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and add about a teaspoon or so of the preserves. Fold two opposite corners to the middle so that they overlap and cover the preserves. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Makes about 5 dozen. I have a note in my cookbook that I baked them at 325 for 12 minutes using the stove we had as our house in Seale, AL. So, you know I've had this recipe a while. Actually, I've had this book since before I ever met Ed. I think we made these when I lived with Carol the year before I met Ed. That would have been 1981. I just checked the copyright and it's 1977, so I bought this book when I was in college. So, this is a tried and true recipe!
