The recipe is from the food network magazine and can be found online here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/petite-orange-and-raspberry-pochettes-recipe/index.html
(But I'm also posting it here with my pics and notes)
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/3 cup raspberry jam
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
*My friend made me some pineapple preserves with coconut and lime (I know right?! Amazing) so I decided to use her preserves in these little pochettes because it deserved something yummy. Wow. One word to describe that decision: epic.
Directions
Beat the butter and cream cheese in a bowl with a mixer until light and creamy. Slowly add the flour, mixing just until a dough forms (do not overmix). Divide the dough into 2 balls, then flatten each into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out 1 disk of dough on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out as many rounds as you can using a 3-inch-round fluted cutter. Top each with a heaping half-teaspoonful of orange marmalade. Brush the edge of the dough with water, then fold the dough over to make a half-moon and press to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Reroll the dough scraps and repeat, then repeat with the remaining disk of dough, filling with the raspberry jam.
Bake the cookies until golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
So delish. One thing to know is this recipe only makes about 2 dozen of these so plan accordingly. They're pretty sweet so you don't really want more than two, but still, doesn't make a ton so you may want to double the recipe if you're making them for several people or an event. Enjoy!!!
ps. I should note that the first time I made these I used orange marmalade and raspberry jam. Both were good but the raspberry (in my opinion) was better. They were definitely eaten first. :)
