Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups preserves (e.g., apricot and strawberry)
  • 0.75 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Beat until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add baking powder and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to about 1/2 cm thickness. Cut with a 2.5-inch cookie cutter and place on prepared baking sheets. Spread about 1 tablespoon of preserves into the center of each cookie.
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let cool on wire racks.
  5. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and store in an airtight container. Replenish powdered sugar before serving if needed.
