Ingredients
topping:
leftover Cranberry Jelly
Jelly or jam
Fruit Pie Filling, cooked until very thick
cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 cup sugar for rolling
Description
Sand tart like cookie with jelly filling.
Directions
Put wet ingredients into a mixing bowl and cream together until smooth.
Sift dry ingredients into another bowl, then slowly mix in.
Scoop out 1 1/2 inch balls into the sugar, roll, and place 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
Use a 1/2 teaspoon to make dips in the center of each ball, then fill each with a teaspoon of the jelly. (Dip the spoon in water between cookies to stop sticking).
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes. Let sit 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
*1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda cup for cup works well IN these, not for rolling.
*This is a very thick dough, so it is easiest to make one batch at a time even if you plan to make several.
