1. Cream Cheese Cookies

I got this recipe from a Jewish ladies club raising funds for their club, way back in 1953.

APRICOT COOKIES;
1/2 POUND OF BUTTER OR OLEO
1/2 POUND CREAM CHEESE
2 CUPS FLOUR
1 to 1 1/2 pounds of Apricots

Mix the first 3 ingredients. If too soft, put in frig a few minutes to chill.
If the apricots are dried, then boil them in water till they are soft, mash them and add sugar to your taste.
Roll the dough out on a floured board, and cut out with a round cutter, like a glass or tin can.
Put a small spoon full of fruit filling in middle and fold over
and seal. Dust with powder sugar before baking at 300 degrees for 20-25 minutes.Place about 2 inches apart.
They will not brown, and will not spread.
Any fruit will do, using fruit, nuts, cheeses, jams-jellies.
After removing from oven, dust again with powdered sugar. They freeze well, just dust with powder sugar again when defroasted.

VERY SIMPLE AND QUICK TO MAKE.

10. No table sugar

The Solo apricot filling is where you get the sweetness from. They are dusted with powdered sugar too.

11. I added a tiny little bit of powdered sugar to the dough

and a smidge of vanilla. They are indeed phenomenal. Used Sokol's Apricot Butter filling. MMmmmmmm.....taking them to a party tonight, will post the reviews. -C4C

4. they're really good

I've made these before (except I call them kolachkies - they're a traditional Polish small pastry). If anyone hasn't made these yet, they're totally delicious. I've always used Solo apricot filling, but you can really fill these with just about any fruit.

5. SOLO apricot filling is what franmarz uses too.

She used to use the apricot and the poppy seed filling. Delicious. She made these every year at Christmas when we were kids.

6. mmmmm

Y'know, it never occurred to me to use poppy seed filling in these - that would be an excellent contrast to the sweetness of the pastry. I'm going to try that this year...
