Sometimes that “missing ingredient” idea comes to me in my sleep, and I have to jot it down. The surprising filling in these cookies makes them fun to bake and even more fun to eat! —Angela Sheridan, Opdyke, Illinois

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons almond extract
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped
FILLING :
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon almond extract
1/4 cup red raspberry preserves

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in oil and extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls; press 1 side into chopped almonds. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets, almond side up. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness with bottom of a glass.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on pans 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and extract until smooth. Place rounded teaspoonfuls of filling on bottoms of half of the cookies. Make an indentation in center of each; fill with 1/4 teaspoon preserves. Cover with remaining cookies. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
