Recipe Introduction


rolled sandwich cookies.
Heat oven to 375.
About 3 1/2 dozen cookies.


List of Ingredients




1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 egg
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
2 1/2 cup sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Raisin Filling (below)



Recipe



In small mixer bowl, beat butter and cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add half of the dry ingredients to butter mixture until smooth. Stir in remaining dry ingredients. (Dough will be stiff.) Cover; chill 1/2 hour. Prepare Raisin Filling. Cool.
Heat oven to 375. Roll about 1/4 of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Cut with 1 and 1/2­inch square cutter.
Place half of the squares on ungreased baking sheet; spoon 1/2 teaspoon filling on each. Cut 1/2-inch "X" in center of re­maining squares; place on filling and press together. Bake 10 minutes or until very light brown around edges. About 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

Raisin Filling: Simmer 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup apricot preserves and 2 tablespoons water 5 minutes.
