Ingredients




4 cups All-purpose flour
1 cup Butter (2 sticks)
2 Eggs
cup Granulated sugar
cup Jelly (about) such as seedless red
Raspberry see note
Powdered sugar

Preparation

1 Combine flour, butter, eggs and sugar; beat until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out chilled dough on lightly floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick. Cut with a round cookie cutter; transfer cookies to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on wire rack. 3 When cool, spread jelly between 2 cookies to make a sandwich. Coat each cookie in powdered sugar. 4 Cookies taste better after a few days because the jelly absorbs into the cookie and makes them softer. 5 Yield: 3 dozen sandwich cookies. 6 Tester's note: Pretty sandwich cookie. 7 This recipe tastes best with aslightly tart jelly. 8 Karen Travis, Hollenbeck Middle School. "This cookie recipe is a family heirloom from my grandmother on my dad's side of the family. She came to St. Louis from Dusseldorf, Germany," says Karen Travis. "It is now a favorite at my house."
