Jam jewels

48 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Butter or margarine; softened
1 pack (8-oz) cream cheese; room temp
2 cups Sifted all-purpose flour
Assorted jams or jellies

Directions

Work butter in a bowl until creamy; add cream cheese and mix together until blended. Mix in sifted flour and beat until smooth. Cover dough and chill 3-4 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough into small portions and roll each into about a 1-inch ball. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets and flatten slightly with the fingers. Make a depression in the center of each cookie with the thumb. Fill the depression with a small amount of jam or jelly. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove cookies to wire cake racks and cool. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
