These are a must for any christmas cookie tray in my family. A sweet, flavourful sandwich cookie that you can decorate any way you like. I like to use a teeny tiny cookie cutter to make bite-sized cookies, but I believe that they are traditionally made with slightly larger rounds. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
1 egg |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract, if desired |
2 teaspoons water, as needed |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, using hand mixer on medium, cream together butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Add egg and blend thoroughly. Add flour, baking soda and cream of tartar, and mix well.
2. On lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/8-1/4 thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake at preheated 300F oven until lightly golden around edges, about 12-15 minutes.
4. While still hot, sandwich together with jam. Set on rack to cool.
5. In small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup sugar, extract, and enough water to make icing. Ice tops of cooled cookies and decorate as desired.
