Raspberry Nut Valentines Cookie Recipe
1 C. (1/2 lb.) butter or margarine,
softened
2/3 C. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 C. pecans, ground
2 C. all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar
About 1/4 C. seedless raspberry jam
In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until
creamy; beat in vanilla extract. Gradually add pecans and flour, blending
thoroughly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until easy to handle
(1 to 2 hours) or for up to 3 days.
On a floured board, roll out dough to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Cut out with a
2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter and transfer to ungreased baking sheets,
spacing about 1 inch apart. Cut out a hole in center of half of the cookies,
using a tiny round cutter about 1/2 inch in diameter. Bake in a 375�F oven for
about 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to racks and let cool
completely.
Sift confectioners' sugar over tops of cookies with holes; then spread bottom
sides of remaining cookies with jam. Place a sugar-topped cookie on each
jam-topped cookie to form a sandwich. Store airtight.
Makes about 3 dozen.
