1. Beat butter or margarine and cream cheese in mixer bowl until light and fluffy.
2. Add flour gradually, beating well after each addition.

5. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam into center of each circle.

12. Note: My Mother-in-law often tried to flip the open ends up a bit. I sometimes roll pieces of dough into a ball and press the bottom of a small juice glass into the centre. Then I fill the indentation with jam or preserves and it doesn't spill out.
