I had a neighbor and her name was Mrs. Wiggins. She had an incredibly positive outlook on life and was dedicated to her church. I admired her and was lucky to have known her. She passed along many recipes to me and taught me so much. These Cream Cheese Jam Cookies is one of my favorites. Actually, truth be told, I love all of them and eventually you will find them all on this site.

Remove dough from fridge and discard parchment paper. Cut into 1/2 inch slices and place on baking sheet. Using 2 small spoons scoop approximately 1 teaspoon of jam onto the center of each cookie. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool.
