Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cold butter (no substitutes) 1 egg 1/4 cup milk 2/3 cup seedless raspberry jam Glaze: 2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Red-hot candies Green food coloring
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add to crumb mixture just until moistened. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375*F (190*C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Spread jam on half of the cookies; top each with another cookie. In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Spread over cookies. Decorate with red-hots before glaze is set. Let dry. Using a small new paintbrush and green food coloring, paint holly leaves on cookies. Makes 2 dozen.
A festive and beautifully decorated cookie with raspberry filling.
