Ingredients:

1 ½ tsp. baking powder

1 egg

2 12/ cups all-purpose flour

Food coloring

2 Tb. thick jam (“spreadable fruit”)

½ tsp. salt

1 cup sugar + extra for pressing

½ lb. (2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

2 tsp. vanilla extract

Equipment:

bowl

oven

baking paper

baking sheet

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy and smooth. Scrape the bowl and add the egg and vanilla. Beat again until smooth.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and beat until just mixed through.Measure out ½ lb. of dough (a little over a ¼ of the batch) into a separate bowl. Refrigerate the larger amount. Add the thick (not runny) fruit jam to the smaller amount of dough. Add a few drops of food coloring. Mix until the color is distributed evenly.Place the “fruity” mixture in the fridge to chill. (It’s much more important for THIS dough to be cold than the vanilla dough, so leave it in for at least 30 minutes.)Meanwhile, roll the vanilla dough into 1 Tb. sized balls. On a floured work surface, press the balls flat with the palm of your hand. Scoop 1 tsp. of fruity mixture on top of each circle. Pinch up the sides of the circle until the filling is completely enclosed. Flip the balls over, so that the pinched sides are down. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in sugar and gently press the balls down to ½ - ¾ inch disks.Repeat with the rest.Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Then allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before moving. * I like using raspberry jam and lemon curd the best!

Food Trivia

The earliest form of eating processed food occurred in early hunting cultures when the men who made a kill would be rewarded with a meal of the partially digested contents of the stomach of their prey.

Food Joke

A little change On his way back from work one evening, Benny gets hit by a car as he crosses Threadneedle Street and is knocked unconscious. To the bystanders, he looks in a bad way. A Priest happens to be passing and not knowing Benny’s religion, administers last rites. But immediately, Benny`s eyes open and he’s quickly fully awake. "What were you saying to me?" asks Benny. The Priest tells him about the last rites. "I suppose a little bit of a different religion won’t hurt," says Benny, "thanks." Benny can’t wait to tell his family about his experience. When he gets home, he says to his wife, "Yetta, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she tells him, "Later, Benny, later. I don`t have time. I’m late for my supervision meeting. I’ve left your dinner in the oven. See you later." So Benny goes up to his daughter’s room and says, "Leah, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she says, "Sorry, Dad, I’m on the phone planning my weekend. Could you please come back later, and close the door behind you, will you." He then goes to look for his son who he finds driving the car out the garage. "Maurice, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But his son says, "Dad, I’m late for a date. I need the car and some money. Can you lend me £100 please? I’ll talk to you tomorrow." So Benny goes back into his house, shakes his head and says, "I’ve only been a gentile for two hours and already I hate three Jews."
