Spider Web Tartlets
1 16 oz. log refrigerated sugar cookie dough
3/4 cup flour
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup (12 oz. jar) apricot preserves
1 tube black cake decorating gel
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap cookie dough and place in
med. mixing bowl. With floured hands, knead flour into cookie dough.
Roll dough back into log shape, place on clean cutting board and cut
into eight equal slices. With floured fingers, place dough circles
on baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
Gently press dough circles, flattening to make each one
approximately 4 in. in diameter. With thumb and forefinger, pinch
the edge of each dough circle to create a ridge all around. Pinch
each dough circle along the ridge to make eight points.
Spread 2 tbs. of jam onto each dough circle, making sure to spread
it all the way to the edges and in the points. Refrigerate for 20
min. Bake 12 - 14 min. or until edges are lightly browned.
Remove tartlets from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. When cool,
use the black decorating gel to make a spider web design. |
