Recipe: Strawberry Lilies (cookies) - Still looking Rebecca, but here's an interesting one...

Haven't checked my cookbooks yet, didn't find it in the loose cookie recipes in my cookie recipe file, but I haven't given up yet! Here is an interesting one from the loose recipes tho:

STRAWBERRY LILIES from LAND O LAKES BUTTER

1/4 cup sugar
1 cup Land O Lakes Butter, softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup strawberry jam (or your favorite fruit preserves or jam)
Powdered sugar, if desired

In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (about 1 minute). Reduce speed to low;add flour and salt. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1-2 minutes). Divide dough into fourths. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm(at least 2 hours).

Heat oven to 375. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough, one-fourth at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8" thickness. Cut with 2" round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam into center of each unbaked circle;spread to within 1/4" of edge of cookie. With thin spatula, fold 2 sides of lower half of the dough over jam to form a lily shape;gently press narrow end to seal. (Jam will show at top and cookies will be cone shaped.)Repeat with remaining dough and jam. Bake for 7-11 minutes or until edges are very lightly brwoned. Cool completely. Sprinkle cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Makes 8 dozen cookies.
