Cream Cheese Cookies with Lekvar (Marmalade) Filling

Cream Cheese Cookies with Lekvar (Marmalade) Filling

This Hungarian Cookie is so easy to make. It has a delicate cheese flavor that contrasts with the tart Lekvar filling.

1 16 oz. brick of Cream Cheese

1 cup of butter, softened

2 cups of flour

Blend in bowl with a wire pastry blender until dough forms together. Roll out like pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut in 2 X 2 inch squares. Put a dab of Apricot or Prune Lekvar in the middle of square. Take up two of the opposite corners and bring the two corners together with a squeeze over the dab of Lekvar.

Note: If you have a pie crust trimmer with a crimped wheel, you can use this to cut all the 2 X 2 squares. It makes a beautiful presentation. All the pastry edges have serrated edges.

Bake on a buttered and floured cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Do not let burn.

Dust with Powdered Sugar.
