Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place sugar in a bowl.
- Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Begin working butter into flour slowly until fully incorporated. Repeat process gradually with cream cheese, kneading dough until uniform and no longer crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, then flatten with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. (This may also be done by rolling out the entire amount of dough and cutting rounds with a biscuit cutter.)
- Place 1 tablespoon preserves on each dough center. Fold over, and seal with fingers or press to seal with a fork. Place cookies on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Cookie will remain white and should not be browned, and it is normal for some filling to leak from the cookie. When cookies are cool enough to handle, roll in sugar until evenly coated. Transfer to a platter to cool completely.

PINEAPPLE PASTRY
This is a great recipe for all festive occassions. I doubled the recipe so I could have more layers. The cake was huge so everyone had a big portion. I used Non-dairy ready to whip topping instead of the cream. If using heavy whipping cream, u will have to add 2-3tbs confectioners sugar to the cream half way through whipping. Vanilla ice-cream is also a great option, but then the cake will have to kept in the freezer. Transfer to the refrigerator for sometime before serving.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready.
- Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple has the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pastry tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The pastry should be baked at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help it rise quickly and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Let the Pastry Cool Completely: Before you frost or glaze the pastry, let it cool completely. This will help the frosting or glaze set properly.
