Strawberry Cream Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
seedless strawberry jam

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Add flour and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Shape dough into 1-in balls. Place 2-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 1/2-in deep indentation in the center of each ball; fill with about 1/4 teaspoon jam. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12
minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: 5 dozen
