These cookies are SO light and SO YUMMY! This is my late grandfather's recipe; his favorite cookies to make for us, and my favorite to eat! Not sure if the spelling is completely correct; but he came straight from Hungary so I guess he'd know. :) Prep time does not include chill time. Yield is an estimate. (The jellies/pastry fillings used in this recipe can be found in cans in the baking isle of most grocery stores. I recommend using the SOLO brand.) Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened |
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
assorted baking jelly or pie filling (my favorites are apricot, poppy seed, almond, and raspberry) |
powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine butter and cream cheese completely, add flour and mix well.
2. Divide dough into 4 balls; wrap each in plastic wrap and chill 24 hours.
3. Roll out each ball (on floured surface) to 1/8 . (Be sure to keep them thin, as this keeps them light! )
4. Cut out silver-dollar sized cookies; place on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Drop 1/2 teaspoon jelly in center of each cookie and bake at 350* for 7-8 min. (Just until edges begin to brown.) I always bake the cookies flat; however, the edges may be pinched or rolled together as well!
6. Lightly sift powdered sugar over cookies and serve.
