Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a stand mixer, combine cold cream cheese, cold butter, and pure vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 3–5 minutes.
- Gradually add sifted all-purpose flour while the mixer is running on low. Mix until flour is fully incorporated and dough is soft.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick.
- Using a fluted pastry cutter, cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares.
- Place ¼-½ teaspoon of fruit filling in the center of each square. Fold corners over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Arrange filled cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Notes
Ensure the fruit filling is smooth to prevent cookies from opening during baking. Store cookies in an airtight container for 4-6 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
