Ingredients

  • \xa04 oz (half a block) of cream cheese
  • \xa01/2 lb (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
  • \xa02 cups all purpose flour
  • \xa02/3 cup apricot jam (or other fruit jam of your choice)
  • \xa01 tbs confectioner\u2019s sugar

Equipment

  • \xa0Mixer (hand mixer or Kitchen Aid mixer with paddle)

Directions
