My Marmalade Cookies
- 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
- 12 cup butter, softened
- 12 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface (to roll out)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- strawberry preserves (raspberry, peach, apricot, use what you like)
- Cream together the cream cheese and butter until light and smooth, add lemon rind.
- Combine flour and sugar (I never sift it).
- Add half the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture.
- Stir in remaining flour.
- Roll out dough onto a lightly floured board and roll to 1/8 inch thick.
- (I usually have to knead the doll a little more before rolling out).
- Cut dough with cookie cutter.
- Spoon about 1/2 teaspoons of preserves in center of each shape.
- If using pinwheel cutter, fold over the sides to make the pinwheel.
- If using circles, form to a triangle by folding in three edges and pinch edges gently.
- Bake at 375 degreed for about 12-14 minutes.
- Cool cookies on tray for a few minutes and move to rack to cool completely.
- May be stored in a tin.
- Last about a week (there will be no need to, these usually get devoured).
