My mom LOVES shortbread cookies. This recipe did not disappoint her. The almond gives a great flavor and the texture of these is incredible. I always err to the side of under-baking.
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 tsp almond extract
1 tsp milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F in a medium bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until smooth. Mix in 1/2 tsp almond extract. Mix in flour until dough comes together. Roll dough into 1-1/2" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small hole in the center of each ball, using your thumb and finger, and fill the whole with preserves. Bake for 14-18 minutes in preheated over, or until lightly browned. Let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet.

The ladies would all sit around and have tea an cookies. During the holidays, she would always make her famous cookie press cookies. She’d make peanut butter, a basic spritz, and I think the other was similar to a snicker doodle. Well here is the recipe she gave me for the peanut butter. I hope you enjoy!
