1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Cover, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using your finger, make an indention in the center of each ball, and fill with 1/2 teaspoon of apricot preserves.
3. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

I've always liked SNICKERDOODLES.
I'll have to go find a recipe though if you want one - never made 'em myself! Probably best to ask my mom - she'd be offended if I didn't' use hers!
Will post it if I can get it!
Thanks

Process almonds in 2 batches in a food processor or blender until ground.
Combine ground almonds, powered sugar, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, using hands to mix. Stir in egg whites. (Dough will be sticky.) Drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
DANG! I think I just gained 20 pounds reading all these delicious cookie recipes! Guess I will have to dig in my home recipe box for one. *DROOL* Now I am hungry for some cookies and milk!
