Jelly cookies! YUMMMMMMMMYYYYYYY!

Here are the ones I baked on Wednesday:  

Jill’s Jelly cookies or Raspberry Star cookies– My most requested!

1 cup of butter, softened

1/2 cup +2 tablespoons of white sugar

2-1/4 cups all purpose flour

pinch of salt

1 cup(jar) or seedless raspberry jam

icing

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 tsp almond extract

2-3 tsp water (or more)

drizzle over cookies

preheat oven to 350

cream together the butter and sugar till smooth

combine flour and salt, stir into creamed mixture

roll the dough to 1″ balls

press to 3/8″ thickness ( i use a glass cup)

indent the cookies with the back of the spoon, thumb or the pampered chef tart maker

place a small amount of jam into each cookie

bake for 10-12 minutes

let sit on cookie sheet for 2 minutes then cool on a wire rack

In a small bowl mix together the confectioners sugar and almond extract to form a gaze. add water a tsp at a time if the mixture is too thick to drizzle. I use a icing bag (or a ziploc bag, corner snipped off) to pipe the drizzle on so its perfect!

double this recipe it only makes about 24 cookies
