Papa's Boysenberry Ropes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup boysenberry jam
- 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped or broken
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Stir in flour, cornmeal and lemon zest and beat until dough clings together.
- Divide dough into 3 equal portions and roll into ropes about 1-inch thick.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten ropes slightly and press the back of a 1/4-inch teaspoon measuring spoon, or your finger to make a 1/2-inch wide indentation for every inch of the rope.
- Spoon a 1/4 teaspoon of jam into each indentation.
- Bake in oven for 10 to 14 minutes, until sides just start to brown.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place chopped white chocolate in a baggy in warm water.
- Push the chocolate into the corner of the baggy until thoroughly melted.
- Wipe off any water on the outside of the bag and snip the corner to drizzle chocolate over cookie ropes.
- Chill until chocolate has set and with a sharp knife cut ropes diagonally into 1-inch wide pieces.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container, separating the layers with waxed paper.
