INSTRUCTIONS
COOKIE CRUST
CREAM CHEESE FILLING
Heat oven to 350. Have ready a cookie sheet and a flat serving plate or a
flat serving board.
Crust: Put butter, sugar, shortening, egg yolk, vanilla and salt into a
medium bowl or food processor. Stir or pulse to mix well. Add flour and
stir or pulse until well blended. Remove processor blade.
Put a 12-inch square of foil on work surface and sprinkle lightly with
flour. Gather dough into a ball and place in center of foil. With a floured
rolling pin, roll dough to a 9 - 9 1/2-inch circle. Put a 9-inch cake pan
or plate on the dough and cut around it with a knife to trim the crust to
an even 9 inches.
Fold up about 1/2 inch dough around edge to form a rim. Crimp rim with
fingers. Slide foil onto a cookie sheet. Prick bottom of dough all over
with a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes on
cookie sheet, then slide foil onto a cooling rack. Let cookie cool
completely.
NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING: Slide cookie from foil onto serving
plate. Stir sugar into cream cheese just until well blended. Spread over
crust, top with fruit and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
