Directions: |
Directions:In a mixing bowl, cream butter, then add cream cheese; mix well. Slowly add flour, careful not to overmix. Form dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour. Take the chilled dough and divide into 2 pieces. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out a circle shape, about a 1 1/2 inch diameter. Place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets. Take your thumb and make an indentation in the center. Put a small amount, about the size of a nickel, of the filling of your choice in the center of each one. (The instructions for the Cream Cheese Filling follows below.) Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly brown. Do not over bake. After ten minutes, you can dust powdered sugar on top. Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Refrigerate filling before placing on cookie dough to keep it from spreading.
