How to Make Cream Cheese Jam Cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 4 ounces cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add 1 large egg and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a metal spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently bring the dough together with your hands. Avoid kneading.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5cm (1/4 inch).
- Using a 6cm (2 1/4 inch) round cookie cutter, cut out the cookies.
- Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam into the center of each cookie.
- Sprinkle the tops with slivered almonds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
