Raspberry Filled Cookie
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 2/3 cups flour
1 (10 oz.) jar raspberry jam (seedless)
Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt, set aside. In a large mixing bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla, add egg and beat until light. Blend flour mixture alternately with sour cream into the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Chill dough. When dough is ready take half of the dough and roll 1/8" thick onto a lightly floured surface, and cut with a 3" round fluted cookie cutter. Place on a ungreased cookie sheet (can get 12 per cookie sheet). Put 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam on one side of the cookie and fold other half over the top forming a half moon shape. Bake at 350º for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly brown. Repeat with other half of dough. After cookies are cool frost.

* I like to use Smuckers Red Raspberry Seedless Jam.
* I put the jam in a cake decorating bag with a small round tip (1/4") and squeeze a little onto each cookie.
* I have found that I like to roll out as many cookies as I can, and keep them cool, and then bake them. This seems to help them hold their shape better and not leak.

1/2 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp milk
Directions:
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together until creamy, adding more or less milk to get desired thickness. I like to frost cookies by using a cake decorating bag with a small round tip, and I make zig zag lines with the frosting across the top of the cookie. Let frosting on cookies dry before storing in containers.
