 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      8 oz Pk. cream cheese, softened
      1 c  Butter
      2 c  Flour
           Apricot preserves or*
           Confectioners sugar
 
  * raspberry or other fruit preserves
  
   These are easy to make and you can use any variety of fruit preserves.
  
   In a large bowl, cut cream cheese and butter into flour. Mix into a smooth
  ball. Chill dough for about 30 minutes.
  
   Preheat oven to 350°. Roll dough out onto wax paper, about 1/8- 1/4 inch
  thick. Cut into 3-inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon preserves slightly off the
  center of each square. Fold dough over to enclose preserves and form a
  triangle, but don't come quite to the edge with the top flap. Roll dough
  toward the point and smooth and seal edges. Bend in ends of rolled dough to
  give a crescent effect.
  
   Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until light brown. Remove and cool on
  wire racks. Roll in confectioners sugar.
