  • Difficulty:
    Medium

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 and ½ cups butter (room temperature)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 28 ounces cake and pastry filling (raspberry)
  • Optional: confectioners' sugar for dusting 

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with butter until light and fluffy. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, and mix well.  
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  
  3. Heat your gas oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness on a silicone mat or a surface that has been dusted with equal parts confectioners’ and granulated sugar.
  5. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
  6. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each square. Brush a tiny bit of beaten egg white on one corner and press the opposite corner on it. Then, press the dough together lightly to seal.  
  7. Using a spatula, transfer the filled cookies to a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes or until corners start to brown.  
  8. Remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar.
