Recipe Introduction

Savory and sweet make a perfect combination in these delicious cookies with a tender and flaky pastry.

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1-1/3 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup sugar-free apricot preserves




Recipe

Beat together the margarine and cheese until creamy, then blend in the flour and water. Chill the dough for 4 to 5 hours. Preheat the oven to 370 F. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the preserves until the mixture boils and is smooth. Set aside. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 10 inch square, cut into 2 1/2 inch squares. Put a scant teaspoon of the preserves in the center of each square, fold over diagonally and seal the edges. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 to 10 minutes.

Makes about 30 cookies.
