Greek Kolacky Cookies

1 ½ cup flour
1 stick butter or margarine
½ large cream cheese

Cream together butter and cream cheese. Leave at room temperature about 2 hours. Sprinkle with milk lightly on mixture. Roll dough into a ball. Divide into two. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; flatten like a patty and refrigerate. Dough must be cold to roll out. Take out only a half a patty at a time to roll. Roll dough on pastry cloth sprinkled with flour. Cut dough into 2-inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon of prune, apricot or strawberry filling in the center of each square. Fold in opposite ends to make diamond shape. Bake at 350º for 10 minutes, only until bottom of cookies are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet immediately and roll in confectioners sugar. Makes about 4 dozen.
