Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough at a time into a 10x7-1/2-in. rectangle. Trim edges if necessary. Cut into 2-1/2-in. squares.
3. Place 1/4 teaspoon spreadable fruit or preserves near each end of 2 diagonal corners. Moisten the remaining 2 corners with water; fold over and press lightly.
