Tasty Holiday Fruit Cookies
My sister found this recipe and sent it to me. It's for Holiday Fruit filled cookies. I tried the recipe, and considering the outcome their pretty
easy to make. I always have a large Christmas get to gether every year and this are definitely going to make an appearance.
Anyway, since I have to site the source, their from a small blog called Living the Gourmet over at http://livingthegourmet.blogspot.com/
Here's the recipe,
1 stick butter (softened)
3 cups flour
zest of 1 lemon
zest of 1 orange
1 egg
1 cup sugar
½ baking soda
½ tsp nutmeg
1 cup butter milk
1 tsp orange juice
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla
Filling:
Favorite jam or preserve.
Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients, flour, nutmeg, sugar, and baking soda.
In separate bowl combine wet ingredients, buttermilk, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, egg, orange juice, and zests. Mix.
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Mold into ball and pat with flour. Wrap in kitchen towel and put in refrigerator over night.
Next day.
Cut into four pieces, take one piece and place remaining pieces back in refrigerator. Mold piece into ball, flour surface of work area, and roll out
not too thin. Cut out circles (using cap of 30-ounce mayonnaise jar is perfect for cutting circles).
Place circles on non-stick cookie sheet. Fill middle of circles with about ¼ teaspoon jam, then pinch closed.
Bake for about 10 minutes. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
Hope you like them, I know I do.
