Strawberry Pillows

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup strawberry preserves

Directions

1. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Divide dough into four portions. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 375°. On a floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place half of the circles onto ungreased baking sheets. Place 1/2 teaspoon preserves in the center of each circle; top with remaining circles and press edges lightly with a fork to seal. Cut slits in the top of each cookie. Bake until edges are light brown, 7-9 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
3. Not sure which brand of jam to buy? Check out the brands our editors and the Taste of Home Test Kitchen recommend.
