Strawberry Pockets

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
1 cup butter or margarine
Confectioners' sugar

Combine cream cheese and butter or margarine. Mix until well blended. Add flour; mix well.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place on a cookie sheet. Place 1/4 teaspoon of preserves in the center of each circle. Moisten edges with cold water. Fold in half, then seal edges. Bake at 375 degrees F for 14 to 16 minutes, or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Makes 3 1/2 dozen.
