Jam Dotted Shortbread Cookies & A Glimpse of NYC

Over the weekend, I made some biscuits for the dogs. Now, I’ve made Jam Dotted Shortbread cookies for the rest of us. I got this easy recipe from Coconut and Lime. Thanks, Rachel!

Jam Dotted Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients:

6 oz butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 egg, at room temperature

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

good quality jam
Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a cookie sheet (or two if small) with butter. Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg and beat until smooth. Add baking powder and flour, mix to form a thick dough. Roll into small 1 1/2 inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet. With your spoon or a fingertip, make a shallow dent in the top of each cookie. Fill with a tiny bit of jam. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool on wire racks.

I’ve received a few requests to post photos of New York City. While I hadn’t planned on doing something like that on this blog, I’ll try it out for now and we’ll see how it goes. Just remember, I’m not a photographer or anything… and I have a frustrating camera. Okay? So, with that disclaimer out of the way, from now on, I’ll post shots of the city on Mondays. Let’s call it, “New York Monday.”
