Your Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe (I used store-bought dough *blush*)
8 oz. of Your favorite flavor of jelly, jam, or preserves (Strawberry Preserves)
¼ c. powdered sugar
Preheat oven according to sugar cookie recipe directions. I also like to use the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens (red and white) cookbook, and if you don't own one… you must. You can't call yourself a cook without it! Roll chilled dough and cut into shapes. I used a heart because it was Valentine's Day. Make sure you have another cookie cutter that is smaller than the one you're using to cut initial shape to make the center. I used a smaller heart. DO NOT CUT the center before baking. I tried, it wasn't pretty. Just cut out the basic large shape and bake according to directions. When hot from the oven, carefully cut the center out of half the shapes leaving a whole cookie for the bottom. Transfer cookies to wax paper carefully removing hot centers from cookies. (Feed centers to your hungry, drooling toddler or decorate) Sprinkle the cookies with the holes with powdered sugar using a salt shaker (remove the salt first… need I say?) full of powdered sugar or a sifter. Spread the bottom cookie generously with preserves putting most of the preserves in the center to prevent oozing around the edges. Top with powdered sugar cookie frame. Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container. These cookies were absolutely delicious! Try different shapes and jelly flavors for different occasions! Not weight watchers, eat at your own risk! J
