Boneyard Cookies Recipe
  • Prep: 1 hour + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
  • Yield: 34 Servings
60 10 70

Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
  • 16 to 18 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cornstarch. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extract. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well.
  • Shape dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-1/2-in. bone-shaped cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • On the bottoms of half the cookies, spread 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon jam down the center; top with remaining cookies.
  • In a microwave, melt white chocolate at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Dip each cookie in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: 34 sandwich cookies.

Delicious! I substituted rice flour, and used raspberry rhubarb jam instead.

but i used scooby snacks they were much easier to make and kids liked them just the same. if you want the extra sweetness just dip the cookie in jam :)

Very brittle cookie that does not do well with re-rolling the dough. I'd also use vanilla instead of the almond flavor. I used homemade strawberry jam instead of the raspberry and Wilton Candy melts (1 bag) instead of the white chocolate squares. Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the picture, but they tasted okay.

I think it would be better and easier to get the chocolate to stay on if it was done with thin cake layers (like layered petit fours), with jam in between, cut out, frozen, and then dipped in chocolate.

For a great tasting cookie, everyone should use their own favorite cut-out cookie recipe and proceed from there. Then, it is a good cookie. The idea itself is great.

I like the concept but would dip the cookies singley w/o the jam. Don't really understand the concept of the jam. Bones are solid.

I made these cookies. They were very time consuming, didn't look like the picture AT ALL when I was done and didn't even taste good. I was very disappointed.

I would try this, but I am not talented enough. I could see if my daughter can try this.
