Jam Kolaches .... Christmas Cookies

1/2 cup softened butter
One (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
About 1/4 cup strawberry jam.(.or any jam of your preference. I usually choose apricot)
1/4 cup powdered sugar

In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese; beat until light and fluffy. Add the flour, mix well.
Roll dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured countertop,cut with a 2" round cutter. Place 2" apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam on each cookie; fold opposite sides together, slightly overlapping edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Makes about 2 dozen...
