I am participating in a virtual picnic over at Months of Edible Celebrations and the letter I received was 'J'. Which was a little harder than I anticipated. I was excited to find these cute cookies that started with J! They are a tender and lightly sweet cookie. I used raspberry jam, but lots of others would be very delicious also. I actually thought these tasted better the next day!! Jam Jewels 1 cup butter, softened slightly 1 cup powdered sugar 1 large egg yolk 3 oz. cream cheese, softened slightly 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 2 1/4 cups white flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Seedless jam for filling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg yolk then add cream cheese and vanilla. Beat until thoroughly mixed. Add dry ingredients and mix until welll blended. Let dough stand for 5-10 minutes to firm up slightly. Shape portions of the dough into 1 inch balls. Place on a lightly greased cook
