JAM MAZURKAS (INSPIRED BY MEAN CHEF)

Jam Mazurkas (Inspired by Mean Chef) image

I made Mean Chef's Raspberry Mazurkas this morning to take to my son's boy scout camp tomorrow - they are wonderful and I strongly urge you try them. Having said that, I made a second batch with a number of my own 'tweaks' (and using apricot jam). The recipe has changed, but it is still really good. I hope you try this version, too.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup walnuts, ground
1 1/2 cups coconut
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I prefer the lesser amount)
1 large egg
12 ounces butter, melted and cooled
1 3/4 lbs jam (use a good-quality one of your choosing)

Steps:

Preaheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Break up any clumps of sugar with your finger tips and work the ingredients to mix them.
Add melted butter and egg and work with fingers (I used one hand so I wouldn't get both gunky) to combine well.
Press half of dough in a foil-lined 15 X 10 inch pan, working well into edges and pressing down to compact.
Spread out jam of your choosing to within 1/2 inch of edges of pan - do not be tempted to use more jam than called for, the bars will be too sweet.
Take handfuls of remaining dough mixture and crumble it over pan, distributing evenly. Press down with palms of hand to compact - but not too hard.
Bake until golden-brown. 50 minutes in my oven (and to my taste).
Cool completely before cutting. Cut lengthwise into 4 even rows and crosswise into 6.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or a fork to mix the butter and flour.
Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles.
Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges.
Let the cookies cool completely before filling them.
Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the filling onto the cookies.
Garnish the cookies with fresh raspberries and powdered sugar before serving.

Conclusion:

Raspberry Mazurkas are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create these beautiful and tasty cookies that will impress your friends and family.
