These are easy to make and you can use any variety of fruit preserves.
In a large bowl, cut cream cheese and butter into flour. Mix into a smooth
ball. Chill dough for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 . Roll dough out onto wax paper, about 1/8- 1/4 inch
thick. Cut into 3-inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon preserves slightly off the
center of each square. Fold dough over to enclose preserves and form a
triangle, but don't come quite to the edge with the top flap. Roll dough
toward the point and smooth and seal edges. Bend in ends of rolled dough to
give a crescent effect.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until light brown. Remove and cool on
wire racks. Roll in confectioners sugar.
