"Funny little cookies with jelly in middle imprints - like mini-pies! Really great cookie texture. Use any kind of jam or jelly, or mix it up! Note: Recipe is for 6 large cookies, make smaller cookies or double if desired. (A-Z Kids Cookbook)"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 6 large cookies
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
• 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup jam (any flavor) or 1 cup pie filling (any flavor)

directions

1. Heat oven to 375.
2. Mix flour, butter, powdered sugar, baking powder and just enough milk until dough forms (if dough seems dry, mix in more milk, 1 tsp at a time).
3. Dive dough into 6 equal parts. Shape each part into a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet; flatten slightly. Make an indentation, 1 3/4 inches in diameter and about 3/4 inch deep, in center of each flattened ball.
4. Fill each indentation with about 2 tablespoons of pie filling. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Definitely a keeper! These are so cute! I made the 6 large cookies & then DH & I had to stop ourselves from eating them all. The kids each got one. ;) I love how big & special they look so in the future I'll double or even triple the recipe. The dough is super easy to make and handle. I started out making the impressions with a metal heart shaped measuring spoon so the cookies would be round with a jelly heart in the center, but the impressions turned out to not be big enough that way and I had to make bigger impressions with my thumbs. Next time I could make double the cookies (not the recipe) & make a Tablespoon heart impression in each, using less jam. Today I used raspberry pie filling (a can I've been hanging onto but can't remember what I bought it for) and the 6 large cookies barely held one Tablespoon of that (I have plenty leftover to make more cookies! :)). These were just a huge hit with us & I have no doubt we'll be making these again & again! Thank you so much for posting this one, JDame! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.
