These are my husbands and sons very favorite cookie. It is on the label of the Solo can's of fillings. My mother-in-law gave this to me when I was first married. They have not changed the recipe.
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. Milk
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Egg Yolk
1.5 cups all purpose flour
.5 Tsp baking powder
1 can Solo filling (any flavor)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven 400-f
Beat Butter, Cream cheese, milk and sugar in medium-size bowl with electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Beat in egg yolk. Sift flour and baking powder and stir into butter mixture to make stiff dough. Cover bowl and refrigerate 7 hours or over-night.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to ¼ thickness, Cut Dough with 2” cookie cutter. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets about 1” apart. Make depression in center with Thumb or back of spoon. Spoon 1 Teaspoon Solo filling into center of cookie. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets and cool completely on wire racks. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar just before serving
I just keep putting my fingers in powder sugar and roll them in small balls then I keep putting my thumb in powder sugar to make the thumbprint. I don't bother rolling them out. I use to but they taste the same so why bother.
Thank you so much for this. I've been using this recipe my whole life but the wrapper with the recipe disappeared and I can't get solo filling here anymore. You saved our Christmas.
