Jam Strip Cheesers Cookies Recipes

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.

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.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine butter and sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add almond extract and egg; blend well. Add flour and baking powder; mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts. On lightly floured surface, shape each part into 12-inch roll. Place rolls about 3 inches apart on 2 ungreased cookie sheets. Using handle of wooden spoon or finger, make depression about 1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise down center of each roll. Fill each roll with 2 tablespoons jam.
• Bake at 350°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown, switching cookie sheets halfway through baking time. Cool 5 minutes. Cut each baked roll diagonally into 12 cookies; place on wire racks. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
• In small microwave-safe bowl, combine icing ingredients. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir; continue microwaving, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted and can be stirred smooth. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. Let stand until icing is set before storing. Store in loosely covered container.
