Directions: |
Directions:Cream the first 5 ingredients. Put 1 cup of white sugar in a large pot on high. Stir until the sugar is melted and is dark in color. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water (use gloves, it will splatter) and stir.
Add this to the creamed mixture and mix. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix.
Keep the dough covered, it will get harder to work with as time goes on.
Roll out to 1/4" thickness and add 1/4tsp. jam along the edge of the dough. Roll up and cover the jam with dough and cut out into a half moon shape with a round cookie cutter. Pinch ends to seal properly and put on a greased or lined with parchment paper cookie sheet
Bake at 375deg. for 10 min. or until lightly browned. Cool.
Whip the icing until thick and pour icing over cookies which have been put in a large bowl. Mix and cover each cookie by hand with icing. Put on wax paper and let dry.
