Raspberry Split Seconds
Description
Yet another version of the classic 1954 recipe. Sugar cookie dough is filled with jam and baked in strips. Then they are cut into cookies.
Ingredients
•
2/3 cup butter, softened
•
2/3 cup white sugar
•
1 egg
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter until a soft dough forms. Divide into 4 pieces.
3
Shape each piece of dough into a log about 12 inches long. Place on cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Using the round handle of a wooden spoon make an indention all the way down the center of each strip. Fill the indention with preserves.
4
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly before slicing diagonally into 1 inch pieces.
