Amy'S Favorite Cookie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 lb. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
apricot jam
confectioners sugar

Preparation

Cream the
cheese.
Add
the
egg
yolks and blend very well. Cut
the
butter into the flour until the particles are fine.
Add the
cream cheese mixture to the flour mixture and mix well. Roll
the
dough
into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.
(I leave
it
overnight, covered well, then get up and bake cookies in a clean kitchen!) Roll the dough out on a very lightly floured surface
to the size of a cookie sheet and cut out small rounds with
a
cutter.
Lay the rounds on a cookie sheet.
Press
your thumb
into
the center of each round and fill the
depression with apricot jam.
Use small amounts and do it neatly
or
it will overflow and burn.
Bake at 400\u00b0 for about 15 minutes.
Dust with confectioners sugar when cool.
