I love these cookies, they look absolutely amazing, and more importantly they are delicious. Again this is a cookie recipe I make around the holidays just because they look so festive. Here's what you'll need:
- 1/3 cup or 3 oz butter, softened
- 1/3 cup or 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup or 5 oz granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup seedless raspberry, strawberry or apricot jam
- 1/4 cup pistachio nuts, or almonds (optional)
Preparation time 30 minutes.
Chilling Time 3 hours.
Baking Time 8 to 10 minutes
In a mixing bowl beat the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. Add the sugar and baking powder and beat until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and start adding flour as much as you can mix with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Cover and chill for 3 hours.
Divide dough in half and on a floured surface, roll each half of the dough into a 10 in square. If you have a pastry wheel use it to cut each square into sixteen squares, otherwise just use a knife. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Use a knife to cut 1 inch slits from each corner to center. Drop 1/2 tsp of the jam in each center and fold every other tip to the center to form a pinwheel. Sprinkle chopped nuts in the center and press firmly to seal.
Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. These are absolutely adorable looking and taste just as great. Enjoy!
