Strawberry Wedding Bell Cookies
|
 |
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Confectioners' sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and
fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed
mixture. 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.
