Cream Cheese Pastries

• {Cream Cheese Dough}
• Ingredients
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• ½ lb unsalted butter
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Raspberry or Strawberry filling {Solo}

Directions

The cream cheese and butter should be at room temperature. Mix the cream cheese with the butter, add flour and salt and mix again. Roll into a ball and divide into four balls. Place in saran wrap and flatten. Place in the refrigerator for ½ hour.

Roll out onto a floured board until it is flattened out, a little less than pie dough. Cut into 3 by 3 inch squares. Fill the center of dough with ¾ teaspoon of raspberry or strawberry filling. Turn each edge of dough over the other. Place the pastries in the freezer for about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Bake 10 minutes or until the edges lightly brown.

Makes approximately 30 cookies.
