Crisp cookies filled with a strawberry cream filling. Pretty and delicious and really not difficult to make Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons seedless strawberry jam |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped |
1 to 3 drops red food coloring, optional |
batter |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
2 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled |
1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. For filling, in a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar and jam until blended.
2. Fold in whipped cream and food coloring if desired.
3. Chill.
4. In a bowl, whisk the sugar, flour, egg whites, vanilla and salt until smooth.
5. Whisk in butter until blended.
6. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Preparing four cookies at a time, drop batter by 1-1/2 teaspoonfuls 4 in. apart onto prepared pan.
8. Bake at 400° for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
9. Immediately remove one cookie at a time from parchment and form into a tube around a greased clean round wooden clothespin.
10. Press lightly to seal; hold until set, about 20 seconds. Remove cookie from clothespin; place on waxed paper to cool.
11. Continue with remaining cookies.
12. If cookies become too cool to shape, return to oven for 1 minute to soften.
