INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter, softened 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup all-fruit spread, assorted flavors 1 egg 1 teaspoon cold water

PREPARATION:

1. Combine butter and cream cheese in large bowl; beat with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour and salt in small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until mixture forms soft dough. Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
3. Roll half of dough on lightly floured pastry cloth or board to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch round cookie cutter. Beat egg and water in small bowl; lightly brush onto dough circles. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon fruit spread onto center of each dough circle. Bring three edges of dough up over fruit spread; pinch edges together to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheets; brush with egg mixture. Repeat with remaining dough, fruit spread and egg mixture.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand on cookie sheets 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely. Store in tightly covered container.
