Raspberry jam eerily oozes from our home economists' soft butter cookies. One bite and you'll have a hard time stopping! Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon almond extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter.
3. Place half of the circles on greased baking sheets. Place a 1 teaspoon of jam in the center of each circle; top with remaining circles and press edges lightly to seal. Use a toothpick to poke two small holes (resembling a vampire bite) in the top of each cookie.
4. Bake at 325° for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set. (Jam will escape from tops of cookies as they bake.) Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen.
