Ingredients
- 1 recipe McCall's Basic Cookie Mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (colored part of peel)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam (for filling)
- Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
In large bowl of electric mixer, combine cookie mix, egg, lemon zest and lemon juice. At low speed, beat until mixture forms a dough.
Divide dough in half. Working one half at a time, on lightly floured surface, with lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough 1/8-inch thick; cut out with 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out centers of half of the cookies. If desired, reroll dough centers for additional cookies. Transfer dough rounds and rings to prepared baking sheets.
Bake 8 minutes or until cookies are golden; transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
With 1 teaspoon jam each, cover flat sides of rounds. Place a cookie ring, flat side down, on top of each filling-topped round. Dust tops of cookies with confectioners’ sugar.
