   3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
   2/3 cup sugar
   2 teaspoons vanilla extract

On lightly floured surface, shape each part into 12 x 3/4-inch roll; place on ungreased cookie sheets. Using handle of wooden spoon or finger, make depression about 1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise down center of each roll. Fill each roll with 2 tablespoons jelly.
