Apricot cream cheese cookies

Apricot Cream Cheese Cookies are some of the best Thumbprint Cookies ever! This scrumptious Christmas cookie is made with a soft shortbread dough that includes cream cheese. Then apricot preserves are put in the centers of each cookie. After baking the cookies are sprinkled with powdered sugar. These cookies are always a favorite whenever we bake them. Marvelous for Christmas Cookie Exchanges and holiday baking.
