Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cut the softened cream cheese and butter into the flour until combined.
  2. Mix the ingredients until they form a smooth, uniform dough ball.
  3. Wrap the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  5. Roll the chilled dough out onto wax paper or a floured surface to about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares.
  7. Place 1 teaspoon of fruit preserves slightly off-center on each square.
  8. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, leaving a small gap at the top edge.
  9. Roll the dough toward the point of the triangle, smoothing and sealing the edges.
  10. Bend the ends of the rolled dough inward to create a crescent shape.
  11. Bake on a baking sheet at 350ðF (177ðC) for 25-30 minutes, or until light brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on wire racks.
  13. Roll the cooled crescents in confectioners' sugar before serving.
