Cream Cheese Cutout Cookies

It's definitely not Christmas, but I'm going through my stacks of recipes and remembered that I want to make these. Thanks Megan!



1 c. sugar
1 c. butter, softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened (1 sm. pkg)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
Jam
Powdered sugar for dusting

In large bowl, combine sugar, butter and cream cheese; beat until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Add flour and salt; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours for easier handling.

Heat oven to 375 F. On lightly floured surface, roll out half of dough at a time to 1/8" thickness. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated.) Cut with floured 2 1/2" round cookie cutter. Place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Spoon 1 tsp jam on center of each round. To shape into triangles, fold 3 sides in without covering jam; pinch corners to seal.

Bake at 375 F for 7-10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
