Strawberry Wedding Bell Cookies
To ring in a joyous occasion like a bridal shower or wedding, I'm often asked to make these festive cookies. You can use different flavors of jam to suit your tastes. —Laurie Messer, Bonifay, Florida
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 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
Directions
- 1. 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 until easy to handle, about 2 hours.
- 2. Preheat oven to 375° 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 1/2 teaspoon jam in the center and spread to within 1/4 in. of edge.
- 3. Shape into a bell by folding edges of dough to meet over filling. Bake until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
