Special occasions around our house have always been indicated by these chocolate-dipped, jam-filled cookies. They not only look appealing, they taste terrific, too. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
6 tablespoons sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds |
1/4 to 1/2 cup raspberry jam or jam of your choice |
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine flour and almonds; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Shape into one 12-in. roll; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
2. Unwrap; cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. Spread 1 teaspoon jam on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Dip cookies halfway into melted chocolate; shake off excess. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets to set. Yield: 2 dozen.
