My Marmalade Cookies

"ok, so i use preserves for these and not marmalade....but marmalade, to me, just sounds so much prettier...i usually make this with my pinwheel cookie cutter, which I had lost but thankfully chef#246018 told me where i could get a new one. They are also good with the linzer cookie cutter, and look so pretty. Also, if you have neither, just use a round cookie cutter and fold sides in to make a triangle. I will try to get a picture soon because I don't really know how to describe it. One last thing, when rolling out the dough, try to go 1/8 inch thick. If you go 1/4 inch thick, the usually unfold when they are baking."

directions

  • Cream together the cream cheese and butter until light and smooth, add lemon rind.
  • Combine flour and sugar (I never sift it). Add half the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Stir in remaining flour.
  • Roll out dough onto a lightly floured board and roll to 1/8 inch thick. (I usually have to knead the doll a little more before rolling out).
  • Cut dough with cookie cutter.
  • Spoon about 1/2 teaspoons of preserves in center of each shape. If using pinwheel cutter, fold over the sides to make the pinwheel. If using circles, form to a triangle by folding in three edges and pinch edges gently.
  • Bake at 375 degreed for about 12-14 minutes.
  • Cool cookies on tray for a few minutes and move to rack to cool completely. May be stored in a tin. Last about a week (there will be no need to, these usually get devoured).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I don't really like answering about me sections, but here goes nothing.....I live in Chicago, IL. Went to culinary school. Used to work in a french restaurant in Downtown Chicago as a pastry chef but now I am a stay at home mom. I went to school for cuisine, not pastry, and actually I am much better at cuisine, however I've always wanted to study more pastry. I am not bad at it, I'm actually very good (tooting my own horn), but everyone says I have a natural talent for cuisine. Either way, I love cooking because it is my meditative time. However, when I cook at home, no one dares to walk into the kitchen because I am very bossy and they would rather not deal with me....heehee! <br />I also love to craft, read, and write. I write a lot. Been working on short stories lately, but I've always been more of a poem freak. I love to read....I have a massive collection of books....every type of book. They are mostly cook books and poetry collections, but I also love history, religion, drama, suspense, romance (not the cheesy kind, my favorite book of all time is love in the time of cholera by gabriel garcia marquez, I have yet to see the movie), mystery, murder mystery (second favorite book is and then there were none by agatha christie). <br />And my rambling continues....I come from a small family, I suppose, 1 brother 1 sister and my parents. My brother is married with 3 kiddies, my sister is a single mom of 1. I am engaged to the love of my life. To clarify, engaged is in parentheses because we cannot legally get married yet. I am a lesbian and I am very hopeful to the legalization of gay marriage because I would marry my girlfriend in a heartbeat. We have a 5 year old son, Joel,and a daughter from her previous relationship, Ashley, 12. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I have some time. Enough rambling....thanks for reading, if you actually stayed awake through the whole thing. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=148021 target=_blank><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg alt= /></a></p>
