My mom makes these cream cheese cookies and I love love love love love love love them. Here’s how we make them:
2 cups of flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup margarine
3 oz. cream cheese
Preheat to 350. Let the margarine/cream cheese soften while you mix the dry ingredients. Put dry in wet, mix to get a flaky, powdery batter. Roll into balls, put a thumbprint in each on an ungreased cookie sheet, fill with jam, bake 20-25 minutes or until they golden a bit, then shake some powdered sugar over them. My favourites!
Here’s the scan from an old recipe book of my mother’s.
and here’s a picture of what they are not supposed to look like (because we don’t follow the recipe):
