Recipe - Fruit Crescents

8 ounce Pk. cream cheese, softened
1 cup Butter
2 cup Flour
Apricot preserves or*
Confectioners sugar

* raspberry or other fruit preserves

These are easy to make and you can use any variety of fruit preserves.

In a large bowl, cut cream cheese and butter into flour. Mix into a smooth
ball. Chill dough for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350ø. Roll dough out onto wax paper, about 1/8 One fourth inch
thick. Cut into 3inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon preserves slightly off the
center of each square. Fold dough over to enclose preserves and form a
triangle, but don't come quite to the edge with the top flap. Roll dough
toward the point and smooth and seal edges. Bend in ends of rolled dough to
give a crescent effect.

Bake at 350ø for 2530 minutes, or until light brown. Remove and cool on
wire racks. Roll in confectioners sugar.

Yield: about 2 dozen. Rosa Linaris, Silver Spring, MD
