Raspberry Almond Cookies

Gina found this recipe somewhere online, a very simple cookie to make. Makes a rich, delicate butter cookie.

Blend together

• 1 cup butter, room temp
• 1 t almond flavor
• 2/3 cup sugar

Pour in while mixing to make a dough

• 2 cups flour

Instructions:

1. Refrigerate 45 min.
2. Preheat oven to 350F.
3. Walnut size dough pieces on pan, make small impression in dough, drop in jam.
4. Bake 10 min.

Our notes:

• Make sure the dough is covered well otherwise it will crust over in the fridge. Not a major concern, just worthy noting.
• We used a #16 scoop to make the size.
• What you see in the picture is what we got from the batch, all onto one pan.
• At 10 min the cookie still had a shine on the top, meaning it was not baked enough. We went 2 more minutes and took them out. They are just barely done. Next time we will try baking them at 375F for 10 minutes.
• If you enjoy the buttery mouth texture, these are a very good cookie.
• Alternate recipes could be a lemon zest or orange zest. You could half dip or drizzle the orange cookies with chocolate. Today we used a simple glaze in a wax piping tube.
