Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 113 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Assorted fruit jams (e.g., raspberry, apricot, or strawberry)
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl, and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into two portions and flatten each into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F), and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Use a 3-inch (8 cm) round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll scraps as needed.
Place a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of jam in the center of each circle. Gently lift edges at three points to form a triangle, pinching the corners together to seal. Leave a small opening to showcase the jam in the center.
Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and jam.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
