Raspberry Ribbon Cookies
- 1/4 of the Ultimate Butter Cookie Dough
- 2 to 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Prepare the Ultimate Cookie Dough and divide it into four equal parts.
- Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 4 days.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or use a clean, ungreased baking sheet.
- Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and knead lightly until it is pliable.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts.
- Shape each part into a rope about 12 inches long by rolling between your hands and the work surface.
- Place ropes on the baking sheet.
- Either the side of your finger or with the handle of a wooden spoon, make an indentation down the center of each strip.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, put the jam into a small heavy duty zip-top plastic bag, (the type without a pleat).
- Snip a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and press jam down the center of the partially baked cookies.
- Return to the oven and bake 5 minutes longer or until the cookies are lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and enough water to make a frosting thin enough to drizzle over the cookies.
- While the cookies are still warm, cut them diagonally into 1-inch lengths.
- Drizzle with the frosting.
- Cool completely before removing from the pan or from the parchment paper.
