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
- 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.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat your gas oven to 350 degrees F.
- 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.
- Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
- 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.
- Using a spatula, transfer the filled cookies to a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes or until corners start to brown.
- Remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar.
