1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

Directions:
* Beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually stir in flour to form a soft dough. Divide dough into two portions. Cover and chill several hours until firm enough to handle.
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets.
* On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough at a time to 1/8 inch thickness (keep remaining dough chilled). Cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch round cutter. Spoon rounded 1/4 teaspoon preserves in each center. Fold over opposite sides, slightly overlapping edges. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
* Bake 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Personal Notes:
Dianne worked with me at Motorola. She brought these cookies in for Christmas, and I just had to have the recipe. I bugged her for days until she gave it to me! These are great, and she was generous to share them.
