In large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (about 1 minute). Reduce speed to low; add flour and salt. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Divide dough into fourths. Wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours).

Heat oven to 375! F. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough, one-fourth at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Curt with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon jam onto center of each unbaked circle; spread to within 1/4-inch of edge of cookie. With thin spatula, fold dough over jam to form a lily shape, gently press narrow end to seal. (Jam will show at top and cookies will be cone shaped.) Repeat with remaining dough and jam. Bake for 7 to 11 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Cool completely. Sprinkle cooled cookies lightly with powdered sugar.
