Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 ½ c butter softened
  • 3 c flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1-½ c strawberry jam
  • 5 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, add the strawberry jam. Turn it to the lowest heat setting and let simmer until thickens, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning. Set jam aside and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. Add in the flour and salt until well combined. Scoop into a piece of plastic wrap and cover tightly and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using powdered sugar in place of flour, roll out the dough until it’s about ⅛” thick. Cut the dough into 2” squares. Place a small dollop of jam in the center of each square, and grabbing opposite corners, press them together until you have a firm seal. Press gently down on the center to keep the cookie from unraveling while baking. .
  • Place on a baking tray about an inch apart and place in the oven to bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just lightly golden brown. Remove and place on a cooling rack.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, slowly melt the white chocolate chips until smooth. Place the white chocolate in a small ziploc bag and cut a tiny hole in one corner to drizzle the chocolate on top of each cookie.

Notes

Recipe Variations:
    • Jam Flavors: Try different jams like raspberry, apricot, or blueberry.
    • Nutty Drizzle: Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate or a drizzle of caramel.
    • Citrus Twist: Add a splash of orange or lemon zest to the dough for extra flavor.
    • Dust of Sweetness: Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a classic, elegant finish.
How To Store: Any leftovers can be stored on the counter in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
