Apricot Cold Dough Cookies

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup apricot jam
1 large egg
2 tbsp. coarse sugar

In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, cream cheese and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla. Gradually add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
Turn dough onto floured work surface, and just bring all the dough together. Form the dough into 2 (1-inch) thick rectangles. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll one of the rectangles into a 9X12 inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 the jam over the dough. Cut the dough crosswise into thirds, making  three 9-by-4 inch rectangles. Roll each rectangle into a 9 inch log. Wrap each log in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm, approximately 30 minutes. Repeat this with the remaining dough.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the logs intp 9 one inch pieces and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 18-22 minutes or until color appears on tops.
