  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Beat in the sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Blend in the vanilla and melted chocolate.

  • Divide dough in half; flatten into 2 discs.
  • Wrap each separately in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1-2 hours, or until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll each piece of dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/4-1/8" thickness; cut into rounds with a 3-inch cookie cutter (scalloped edges are pretty).
  • Place 2" apart on the cookie sheets; place a rounded 1/2 tsp.
  • of jam in the center of each circle.
  • Bring three edges of dough circles up over the jam; pinch edges together to seal, leaving the center of the triangle open.

  • Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
