Jam Cookies

I think it's time for the Christmas baking to begin.  Today my son and I went to the SCARS Christmas Bazaar, and then to kids scrapbooking at Scrapbook Memories & More where he made three Christmas cards and two Christmas ornaments.  Got us in the spirit of the season.

I used my home made raspberry jam for these cookies, and they are delicious.

Here is the recipe:

Jam Cookies

1 cup butter (not margarine)

3 ozs cream cheese

- cream together then add

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

- mix well then add

1/4 cup Birds Custard

2 1/4 cups flour

Roll dough into 1" balls.  Make an indentation in the center of the cookie and fill with jam or chocolate.  I use an icing bag to put the jam into the centers.  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 - 15 minutes.  Wait til cookies cool before you try one (the jam gets very hot).  Enjoy!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
