We love the different sizes of the compartments in the Bentgo Fresh Lunch Box. Being able to pack a healthy lunch is really important. There is enough space to pack soft cookies and not have them crushed plus some fruit salad (FrogEye) and it all stays in and doesn’t spill. The other good feature is that it is durable.

These are THE BEST! Cream Cheese Cookies!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cubes butter (room temp)
  • 1 large cream cheese (room temp)

Directions:

1. Cream butter, cream cheese together, add flour. Refrigerate for 1.5 hours.

2. Roll out, press with round cookie cutter, and fill with your favorite jam. Don't overfill!

3. Fold in half and seal closed with a fork.

4. Bake in 350* preheated oven for 10-15 min or until tops are lightly golden.

5. Transfer to serving platter while still warm and dust each layer generously with powdered sugar - remember the dough has no sugar in it so don't skimp on this last step.
