Raspberry Dreams Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
  • Yield: 54 Servings
25 10 35

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 drop lemon juice
  • 5-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) raspberry preserves
  • ICING:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 drop lemon juice
  • 1 drop red food coloring, optional
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and lemon juice. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
  • Divide dough into three portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • Spread the bottom half of the cookies with raspberry preserves; top with remaining cookies.
  • For icing, combine the sugar, lemon juice, food coloring if desired and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.

Something is missing. There is not enough liquids. The dough was so dry after adding the flour, I couldn't even form balls let alone roll it. I ended up adding more lemon juice.
