    Recipe Introduction


    Think of these as a variation of thumbprint cookies. Vanilla butter cookies are filled with fruit preserves and drizzled with a powdered sugar glaze.

    List of Ingredients




    1/3 cup granulated sugar
    5 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, softened
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 large egg white
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Cooking spray
    1/3 cup raspberry or apricot preserves
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375°.
    Beat granulated sugar and butter with a mixer at medium speed until well-blended (about 5 minutes). Add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and egg white; beat well. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, stirring until well-blended. (Dough will be stiff.)

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12-inch log. Place logs 3 inches apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Form a 1/2-inch-deep indentation down the length of each log using an index finger or end of a wooden spoon. Spoon preserves into the center. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove logs to a cutting board.

    Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and almond extract; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle sugar mixture over warm logs. Immediately cut each log diagonally into 12 slices. (Do not separate slices.) Cool 10 minutes; separate slices. Transfer slices to wire racks. Cool completely.

    Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 cookie)
