CREAM CHEESE BUTTER COOKIES
CBUTTR-COOKIES - Simple filled butter cookies with cream
cheese
INGREDIENTS (3-4 dozen)
1/2 pound butter
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
4 oz cream cheese
raspberry jam
PROCEDURE
(1) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Cream together the
butter and sugar.
(2) Add the flour and egg yolk and mix well.
(3) Add the cream cheese and mix well.
(4) Roll into balls about 5/8 inch in diameter. Place
them on an ungreased cookie sheet (the cookies
don't grow when baked, so they can be somewhat
close together). Then press your thumb into each
to flatten it and make an indentation to hold some
jam. Fill it with jam.
(5) Bake at 350 deg. F for 15 to 20 minutes.
NOTES
You can use any flavor jam you like. The jam is the only
part of the cookie that has any texture, so I prefer using
it to jelly.
Don't eat the cookies straight from the oven, or you'll
probably burn your tongue. The jam stays hotter much longer
than the cookie.
RATING
Difficulty: easy, but strenuous if made by hand. Time: 20
minutes preparation, 15-20 minutes baking. Precision: Meas-
ure the ingredients.
