Looking for a cream cheese thumbprint cookie recipe!?

I'm trying to find an old Hungarian or Polish thumbprint cookie recipe. I know the dough has cream cheese in it, and we never put jam in the thumbprint part, we used a cream cheese frosting? Help!!Looking for a cream cheese thumbprint cookie recipe!?
These are good!





Thumbprint Cookies





1 c. sifted confectioner's sugar


2 c. flour


1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened


2 sticks butter





Allow butter and cream cheese to soften slightly before beginning. Cream butter and cream cheese together. Gradually add confectioner's sugar and flour. Chill a bit to firm up dough. Roll into balls the size of walnuts. Make a thumb-print indentation in center of ball. Fill hole with a tiny bit of jelly, jam or preserves (we used baby food spoons in a couple of little custard cups with about 2 Tbsp. of jam in each cup). Bake at 375掳F for 10 min. They will not be brown.Looking for a cream cheese thumbprint cookie recipe!?
Polish Thumbprint Cookies





International baking from FamilyFun


3 of 8


The Poles are well known for creating excellent baked goods. Like many of their cookies, this one is made with almonds and honey filled with fruit preserves.


Ingredients








2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1/2 tsp. baking powder


1/4 tsp. salt


1 cup unsalted butter, softened


1/4 cup sugar


1/4 cup honey


1 large egg, at room temperature


1/2 tsp. almond extract


1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds


1/2 cup apricot or other fruit preserves





Directions








Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter several baking sheets. In a medium-size bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt.





In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set at medium-high speed, beat the butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.





Beat in the egg and then the almond extract. In 3 additions, beat in the flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.





Shape the dough into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the chopped almonds until coated and place on a prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between the cookies.





Using your knuckle or thumb, press a deep indentation into the center of each cookie (a fun project for kids). Fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.





Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies turn golden. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool for 2 to 4 minutes. Using a metal spatula, move the cookies to the wire rack and cool completely.





When cool, store the cookies in an airtight container with waxed paper between the layers. These cookies freeze well.





Makes about 40 cookies.
I went to Google and used the following phrase:
