    Grace's Christmas Filled Cookie


    Source of Recipe


    Injernet

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup butter or margarine (softened)
    3/4 cup shortening
    2 cups sugar
    3 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    5 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    several tablespoons of milk if the dough seems too dry
    Jam: blackberry, black raspberry, strawberry, red raspberry, plum conserve, apple conserve, or date filling (recipes for plum and apple conserve and date filling are included below.)
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. If the dough is too dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk. If the dough seems too wet, add 1/4 or 1/2 cup of flour.

    Roll out dough. Use either a small round cookie cutter or one large round cutter. Place cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Put one teaspoon of jam (or other filling) in the middle of the smaller rounds or off to one side of the larger rounds. Place another small round on top of the small rounds; fold the larger rounds in half. Use a fork to crimp the edges together and to poke holes in the top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until light brown.

    This recipe makes about six dozen filled cookies.
