These cookies are so easy and so delicious! You start with a quick bread mix and come out with a soft, not too sweet piece of heaven! My mom made these for years for our Christmas cookie tray and now I am taking over the tradition! Ingredients:
1 (15 1/2 ounce) box pillsbury nut bread mix |
1/3 cup milk |
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese (softened) |
1/3-1/2 cup apricot preserves (or jam, seedless works best) or 1/3-1/2 cup raspberry preserves (or jam, seedless works best) |
2 tablespoons butter (melted) |
1 tablespoon hot water |
1 teaspoon hot water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Mix the nut bread mix with the milk and cream cheese to form a dough.
2. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
3. Make an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb and place 1/2 teaspoon of preserves or jam into the indentation.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
5. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet then remove to rack to cool completely.
6. Glaze: Melt butter in microwave safe bowl then add vanilla and hot water. Mix in powedered sugar and stir until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cookies in a back and forth manner to create glazed stripes on top of the cookies. Allow glaze to harden - Enjoy!
