Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Strawberry preserves
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Mix in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two portions, flatten into discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
Step 6
Place the circles on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Use your thumb or the back of a teaspoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each circle.
Step 7
Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry preserves, being careful not to overfill.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
