This is another one of the cookies I used to bake for Christmas to give as gifts. I love these! They make a soft little shortbread type cookie and the jam just perfects them!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c sweet (unsalted) butter, softened
1 c brown sugar, packed
4 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
4 c flour
1/2 c raspberry jam
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Mix first 6 ingredients together. Form into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Use wooden spoon, or finger, to make hole in center of ball. Hole should go about 1/2-2/3 way through; do not go all the way through ball. Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven, fill holes with jam; do not overfill or jam will run over entire cookie. Return cookies to oven and bake for another 6-10 minutes. Be careful not to over bake. When cookies come out of oven, sprinkle chopped nuts over jam.

These cookies were a big disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the jam filling was too runny.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
