Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 3/8 tsp salt
  • filling
  • 1 1/2 cup finely chopped chopped cranberries
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, blend butter and sugar until creamy.
  2. Add egg and beat well.
  3. In another bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture.
  4. Add vanilla and blend thoroughly.
  5. Form dough into ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  6. Roll out dough on well-floured board to 1/8 inch thickness.
  7. Cut with a linzer cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheet, making sure to cut an equal amount of bottoms and tops.
  8. If you do not have a linzer cookie cutter, use a round cutter, and use a small cookie cutter to cut out a design on the tops of half of the cookies. A donut cutter also works for this.
  9. Bake in 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  10. Cool on wire racks.
  11. For filling, combine cranberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  12. Cook for 10 minutes or until cranberries are soft.
  13. Stir in butter and lemon juice; remove from heat and allow to cool.
  14. To assemble cookies, match cookie tops with a cookie bottom that is the same size.
  15. Spread a small amount of filling on the back side of the bottom cookie; place the bottom side of the top cookie on the filling.
  16. Repeat process with remaining cookies and filling.
