-
Divide dough in half and lay each portion between 13-inch-long sheets of waxed paper.
-
Using a rolling pin, roll each half of dough into a 12-inch square, about 1/8 inch thick.
-
Check the underside frequently and smooth out any wrinkles.
-
peel off top

layer of waxed paper; patch and trim dough as necessary to

make it a perfect square.

Replace waxed paper, and slide dough squares onto a large tray.

Chill at least 1 hour, or until very cold and firm.
-
Remove 1 dough square and turn square over so that underside is facing up;

peel off and discard bottom sheet of waxed paper.

Measure and mark dough vertically and horizontally at 1 1/2-inch intervals.
-
Using a pastry wheel or large knife,
-
cut dough as marked into 64 squares, trying not to
-
cut through waxed paper on the bottom.
-
Using a spatula,

transfer the squares onto greased baking sheets, spacing them about 1 1/4 inches apart.

Place 1/2 t cherry preserves in the center of each.
-
Repeat the marking and cutting procedure with the second dough square.

Using a fork, prick an "X" in the center of each square.

Let cookies stand 4 to 5 minutes, or until squares on top begin to warm up and soften.

form a pocket around the jelly rather than causing it to be squeezed out to the edges.
