Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add cold water, mixing until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Make the Filling
- In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble the Pastries
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut into squares and place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold corners to the center and pinch to seal.

Bake and Glaze
