Filled Cookies II Recipe

Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat til light and fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the fruit preserves and form into a flat disk. Chill overnight.

Roll dough out onto a lightly floured board and cut circles using a medium sized glass.

In the center of each circle add 1/2 teaspoon of preserves; crimp edges tightly together. Natural preserves have a tendency to spill out due to the lower sugar content but still make a great cookie.

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 to 17 minutes.
