How to prepare Strawberry Cream Cheese Meltaway Cookies?

The dough will be crumbly, so knead it with your hands to make a ball. Cool it in the fridge for 15-20 min. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it to 0.2 inch thick. Cut the dough using cookie cutter and place it on the baking sheet, 1 .5 inch apart. Bake for 9-10 min or until the cookies become brown at the bottom. Take out of the oven and leave to cool, in the baking sheet, for couple of minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, before putting cream cheese frosting.
Prepare the frosting, meanwhile. Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cookies. Put jam in a piping bag and cut its top off. Pour few drops of jam over the topping and swirl using a toothpick.
