5 dozen cookies SERVINGS

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter OR margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup raspberry jam

Vanilla Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 to 3 teaspoons water

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder. (If dough is soft, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.)

Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough into 8 equal parts. On an ungreased cookie sheet, roll each part into an 8-inch rope; press down until 1 1/2-inches wide. Make an indentation down the center of each with the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill with 1 measuring tablespoon jam.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are light-brown; cool for 2 minutes.
