2 cups flour
¼ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla
4 oz cream cheese (1.2 cup)
1 Tbsp strawberry jam
Directions:
1. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy
2. Add vanilla, lemon and egg and mix well
3. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix until forms a ball…I end with mixing with my hands
4. Roll into a log 2 inches around, wrap in foil and put in freezer for 30-45 min
5. Preheat oven to 350F
6. Take log out of freezer and slice ¼ inch cookies, turning log as you cut to keep them round and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet
7. Bake for 10 min until beginning to brown and let cool completely
8. Mix soft cream cheese with jam until smooth
9. Take 2 cookies and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese in the center and sandwich them together! ( you can also sprinkle them with sugar before baking and just eat them like that)
Rating: 3.5 strawberries
Notes: Needs more frosting!! If you make these, double the frosting for sure! You might even want to add a little sugar on top anyways…these were made after a long day of work, and a sweet strawberry treat was just in order…watch out girls! These are trouble! Dunk in a glass of milk if that’s your thang.. Quote from Alley, "oh i want another one...but i just ate one..." (sigh)
