  • * 2 cups all purpose flour
  • * 2 cups strawberry jam or one you prefer
  • * 3 tbsp egg white for brushing
  • * 3 tbsp castor sugar
  • * 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Use a stand mixer and cream the butter and cream cheese.

  3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap dusted with flour and put in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the dough from refrigerator and divide in two.
  5. Dust your work surface with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Also dust your rolling pin in flour. Roll the dough into an 1-8 inch rectangle.
  6. Cut the dough into 2 inch squares.
  7. Place 1 tsp of jam in the middle of each square.
  8. Gently lift the opposite ends of the dough and fold them over. Press them together.
  9. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.
  10. Put in a 350F oven for 12 minutes.
