Have you ever passed the Copenhagen Ice Cream store when they are making waffle cones? The smell is irresistible! Each time they light that waffle iron up, they have made a sale – to me, of course! I am like a moth to the flame when it comes to baking smells. It is no different with the smell of cookies in the oven. I love them all.
Today, I made one of my all time favorite Christmas cookies; Cream Cheese Foldovers. They are melt in the mouth good! The best part? 4 ingredients! That is all the rage, isn’t it? Four ingredient recipes have been hitting the shelves at all the popular bookstores. Here’s my contribution:
Cream Cheese Foldovers
- 1 c. butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 c. flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cream butter and cheese until well blended. Sift flour and salt together and add to butter mixture. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Roll dough out on sugar (or flour) covered surface. Cut into trapezoid shapes about 2” wide.
Now I know I said 4 ingredients; technically you need to add a few more ingredients (for flavor). I used Strawberry and vegemite because it is what I have on hand. You can use whatever flavored jam you like (apricot is very yummy).
Place a dollop of jam in the middle of the trapezoid.
Fold over the long edges and seal with a pinch.
Bake at 375° (180° C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
This is obviously strawberry jam. I also used vegemite for mini-me. 
If you like vegemite, you’ll love it in these cookies; it’s a lot like cheesy-mite.
No matter what filling you choose, you’ll love these cookies! Perfect for Santa too! 🙂
Merry 8th Day of Christmas!
