2 cups sugar
2 eggs

Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light & fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Stir in vanilla and lemon. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to cream cheese mixture.
Roll dough into a log, 16-18" long. Place on aluminum foil, roll up, and seal. Chill for at least 3 hours.
Slice dough into 3/8" rounds and place on baking sheet. Spoon 1/2 tsp. of jam into center of each cookie.
