Jam Strip Cheesers Cookies Recipes

JAM STRIP CHEESERS (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Combine everything except the jam or jelly.
• Roll out on a floured surface, half at a time, to a 12x3-inch strip. Cut into 3x1-inch strips. Make a deep groove lengthwise down the center of each cookie with handle of knife, keeping ends closed (i.e., the groove stops a little before the short end of the cookie).
• Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Fill groove with jam or jelly, using about 1/4 cup overall.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

JAM-STRIPE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large piece of parchment or waxed paper, roll out 1/2 recipe all-in-one cookie dough into a 12-inch square. Trim edges with a sharp knife.
• Cut square into four 3-inch strips. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Spread top side of 3 strips of dough with 1 tablespoon seedless jam. Stack strips, and end with the plain strip. Press stack firmly to adhere. Refrigerate until firm, 20 minutes.
• Using a long, serrated knife, cut stack crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and arrange, cut side down.
• After forming cookies, place on parchment-lined baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until pale golden, 13 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.

JAM FILLED BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

RASPBERRY JAM STRIPS

Steps:

• In large bowl, stir together butter, sugars, egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder. (If dough is soft, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.)
• Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into 8 equal parts. On ungreased cookie sheet, roll each part into 8-inch rope; press down until 1 1/2 inches wide. Make indentation down center of each with handle of wooden spoon. Fill with 1 measuring tablespoon jam. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light brown; cool 2 minutes.
• Stir together glaze ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over strips. Cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
