Hungary - Kiffles

Kiffles are a jam filled cookie made with a cream cheese dough. They look cute :)

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 or 2 jams


In a bowl mix together the cream cheese, butter and sugar.



Sift in the flour and salt.


Stir in the flour and form into a ball of dough. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and put it in the fridge for an hour.



Roll out the dough on a floured counter. Make a large square with the dough and cut it into small squares. Add a spoon of jam to the middle of the square and then fold over the opposite corners. Pinch them together and then place the cookie on a tray lined with baking paper.



Bake for 15 minutes at 190 C. This is what happened to mine!


Jam everywhere! I managed to salvage a few for a semi-respectable picture :D


They tasted good though! The biscuits were softer than regular biscuits because of  the cream cheese. Me and Leigh especially enjoyed them as we have the sweetest tooths in the family. I just wished they'd looked less messy. Mine were definitely not cute looking. *sadface*
