After making the lemon-poppy cookies, I was excited at the idea to make another citrus cookie.
I googled it and found a few different ideas, and decided to make up my own recipe. (probably why it was a b-).
After I had my dough, I decided to make a jam cookie out of it. The dough was not sweet raw, you won't really want to lick the batter. Once cooked, it's yummy though, and the jam makes it great. I just need to find a better flour ratio and this will be much better!
I don't want to post an exact recipe just yet because they are not perfected, but here is a rough idea.
Basic butter cookie recipe (these are less sweet and "harder" than sugar cookies).
Try this recipe. Or this one.
-Omit vanilla and other liquids besides butter
-Add zest of one lime, one lemon, and one orange.
-Add juice of half lime, 1/4 lemon, 1/4 orange
Mix all together, and let sit overnight so it hardens.
Using a teaspoon, scoop dough and roll into balls using your palms. Place on an un-greased cookie sheet.
Use your thumb to make an indent in each ball:
Then scoop your jam of choice into the middle.
My "niece" Hannah helped.
These are best if you freeze for about an hour before baking.
I baked at 350 for about 10 minutes.
Pat's daughter Sandy lives in the house she grew up in, and they still have the same oven. We had to preheat - I had never actually seen this before and was excited:
The cookies came out not as structured as I wanted them to, but still yummy in your tummy:
