Ingredients

1 16 oz. Brick of Cream Cheese

1 cup of butter, softened

2 cups of flour

apricot perserves or Lekvar or rasberry perserves

powdered sugar

Directions

Blend in bowl with a wire pastry blender until dough forms together.

Roll out like pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut in 2 X 2 inch squares.

Put a dab of Apricot or Prune Lekvar in the middle of square.

Take up two of the opposite corners and bring the two corners together with a squeeze over the dab of Lekvar.

Note: If you have a pie crust trimmer with a crimped wheel, you can use this to cut all the 2 X 2 squares.

It makes a beautiful presentation. All the pastry edges have serrated edges.

Bake on a buttered and floured cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Do not let burn.

Dust with Powdered Sugar.

These are my favorite!!!I too, make these every year around the Holidays. I never use the powdered sugar though. I use peach preserves, cherry preserves,etc. My father loves them because they aren't too overly sweet, so I make them for him too. We call them Kolacky?

Made these for a Hungarian dance event. They disappeared like magic! However, the dough is pretty unusual and lots of the cookies flopped open while baking. I folded them shut (ouch! hot dough!) and cooled them face-down and they looked okay. Tasted fantastic!
