As you get ready for Christmas, you may be planning on doing some baking. I have a favorite cookie that I made for a cookie exchange a few years ago. I found it on Betty Crocker's website. I don't want to take any of the credit. They use a Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix, but I have also made my own sugar cookie recipe instead. It makes it more "home-made." Both ways turn out fine.
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix
1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
3 T. Gold Medal all purpose flour
1/3 c. seedless raspberry jam
1 c. white vanilla baking chips
red or green sugar, if desired
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In large bowl stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until soft dough forms. Roll dough into 3/4 - inch balls; place 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Using thumb or handle of a wooden spoon, make indentation in center of each cookie. Spoon about 1/4 tsp. of jam into each indentation. Bake 8 -10 minutes or until edges are a light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. In a small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips on High, 1- 2 minutes or until the chips are melted; stir until smooth. Spoon melted chips into small resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in the corner of bag. Squeeze bag gently to drizzle melted chips over cookies. Sprinkle with colored sugar.
Enjoy and Happy Baking!
