    Pillsbury Holiday Cookies & Candies


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • 1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
    • 1 egg
    • 2 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 cup ground blanched almonds
    • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
    • 1 (12-oz.) jar seedless raspberry jam
    • Powdered sugar


    Instructions


    1. In large bowl, combine sugar, butter cream cheese and egg; beat until light and fluffy. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add flour, baking powder, almonds and lemon peel; mix at low speed until well blended. Shape dough into 2 disks. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours for easier handling.
    2. Heat oven to 350 F. On lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough at a time to 1/8-inch thickness. Keep remaining dough refrigerated. (Dough will be very stiff.) Cut with floured 3-inch round cutter. In half of cookies, cut and remove 1-inch round or holiday-shaped hole from center. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
    3. Bake at 350 F. for 8 to 9 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 1 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets; place on wire racks. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
    4. Spread cooled whole cookies with thin layer of jam to within 1/4-inch of edge. Top with cut-out cookies; press gently. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. If desired, top with additional jam in center.
