When I originally made this recipe, I put little chocolate chips on the tops of all the cookies save one which I dropped a bit of jam on, just as an experiment. While all of the cookies were a big success, the one cookie with jam was fantastic which got me thinking.
GEORGIAS
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup dimari sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp cream
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Powdered Sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Layer cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk, cream, and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Divide dough into two batches.
- Using one batch of dough, drop by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets and press into approximately 1” flat circles.
- Using a 1/2 tsp measure, depress small indentations into all of the cookies and then fill with strawberry jam (can be substituted for others). In a small bowl mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll out the other batch of dough to approximately 1/4”. Slice into 1/2” by 1 1/2” strips.
- Place one strip in the powdered sugar and one strip in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and then place both of the strips on the cookie (see picture).
- Repeat for all cookies. If the dough becomes to dry (and starts to crack) just roll it out again.
- Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Cookies should be pale.
- After cooled on a wire rack, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container and keep well.
