Provided by Barbara Rolek

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups salted butter (room temperature)
3 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated sugar (for rolling out dough)
Confectioners' sugar (for rolling out dough)
8 to 10 ounces cake and pastry filling (raspberry, apricot, prune, etc.)
1 egg white
Optional: confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix well.
  • Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 350 F. Roll out dough to a 12 x 18-inch rectangle-1/4-inch thick-on a silicone mat or a surface that has been dusted with equal parts confectioners' and granulated sugars (not flour), because the granulated sugar will act as ball bearings and help keep the dough from sticking.
  • Cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon filling on center of each square. Brush a tiny bit of beaten egg white on one corner and press the opposite corner on it, pressing the dough together lightly to seal.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the filled cookies to a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes (longer if baking from frozen) or until corners start to brown.
  • Using a spatula, remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar. Serve and enjoy!
