Directions: |
Directions:In a large bowl cream together butter, sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using your finger, make an indentation in the center of each ball and fill with 1/2 tsp apricot preserves.
Bake 15 minutes in a preheated oven or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. |
