Goldys Red n Whites
From "The Cereal Murders" By: Diane Mott Davidson

Ingredients
1 c Unsalted butter -- softened
3 oz Cream cheese -- softened
1/2 c Sugar Halved
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 c All-purpose flour
36 sm Strawberries -- hulled and cut in half


Preheat oven to 350F. (Ungreased cookie sheets)

In mixing bowl, beat the butter with cream cheese until well blended. Beat in the sugar and vanilla, then stir in the flour until well mixed. Using a 1/2-tablespoon measure, shape the mixture into small balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Make a small indentation in the top of each cookie with your thumb. Carefully place a strawberry half, cut side down, in each indentation.

Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, or until very lightly browned. Cool on racks.
