Original Recipe Yield 30 servings

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup strawberry jam
confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Divide dough into fourths. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-in. round cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam in the center and spread to within 1/4 in. of edge.
Shape into a bell by folding edges of dough to meet over filling. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
