    List of Ingredients




    1 package (13 oz.) NESTLÉ CRUNCH NestEggs, unwrapped
    1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
    2/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup raspberry jam

    Recipe



    FOR COOKIES:
    BEAT butter, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in flour. Cover; refrigerate for 1 hour.

    PREHEAT oven to 350° F.

    SHAPE dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Press thumb into tops to make 1/2-inch-deep depressions (dough will crack around edges). Fill each depression with about 1/4 teaspoon jam.

    BAKE for 14 to 16 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Immediately press 1 Nestlé NestEgg into center of each cookie. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

    FOR GLAZE:
    COMBINE powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butter and milk in small mixer bowl; whisk until smooth. Add more milk if needed. Drizzle over tops of cookies.
