Instructions: (1) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Cream together the butter and sugar.

2. Add the flour and egg yolk and mix well.

3. Add the cream cheese and mix well.

4. Roll into balls about 5/8 inch in diameter. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (the cookies dont grow when baked, so they can be somewhat close together). Then press your thumb into each to flatten it and make an indentation to hold some jam. Fill it with jam.

5. Bake at 350 deg. F for 15 to 20 minutes.

NOTES

You can use any flavor jam you like - strawberry jam, apricot preserves, blueberry preserves, raspberry preserves, etc. The jam is the only part of the cookie that has any texture, so I prefer using it to jelly.

Dont eat the cookies straight from the oven, or youll probably burn your tongue. The jam stays hotter much longer than the cookie.
