"I make these beautiful wreath-shaped cookies with jewel-red centers every Christmas," reports Monica Wilson of Pomona, New York. "The dusting of powdered sugar gives them a snowy look. My mother cut the recipe out of a newspaper some 30 years ago."

Jam-Filled Wreaths Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min/batch + cooling
  • Yield: 30 Servings
25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts
  • 1 jar (18 ounces) seedless raspberry jam
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and allspice; add to the creamed mixture. Stir in oats and nuts; mix well. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
  • On a floured surface, roll out half of the dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in round cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, using a 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter, so the center is cut out of each cookie. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon jam over solid cookies. Place cookies with centers cut out over jam, forming a sandwich. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Fill centers with additional jam if desired. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
