Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup(s) butter, softened
1 package(s) 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 cup(s) strawberry jam
- powdered sugar

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough into fourths. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-in. round cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam in the center and spread to within 1/4 in. of edge.
Shape into a bell by folding edges of dough to meet over filling. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: about 5 dozen.
