MAGIC CARPET COOKIES
I've been making these since I was a teenager. They look so cute when cut into little rectangles (rhomboid?) with a stripe of two different jellies in them. Now I use the all fruit jelly to cut down on the amount of sugar.

MAGIC CARPET COOKIES
This old fashioned cookie comes from the recipe box of my great grandma. They get their name from the fact that they are rectangular and colorful, resembling a magic carpet. She always made them with brightly colored icing as the filling but thay are just as good with jam (or a little of both!). I have also filled them with Nutella before and they turned out fantastic.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Mix butter, sugar, egg and flavoring until creamy. Measure flour by sifting. Mix dry ingredients. Blend into butter mixture.
- Divide dough in half, reserve for trim. Roll remaining dough in 2 (12x6-inch) rectangles on a well-floured or cloth covered board. Cut each rectangle lengthwise in 3 equal strips. With a spatula, carefully lift each strip to a parchment lined baking sheet, placing 1 inch apart.
- Spoon reserved dough into a cookie press. Work in 2 teaspoons cream if it is too dry. Using the smallest star design, press out long ropes on each side of strip, and also 1 down center, pressing down slightly to seal. If you do not have a cookie press, you can roll long, thin ropes instead. Bake about 10 minutes, or until edges are delicately browned.
- Cool. Fill in the rows of trim with jelly or icing. Carefully cut 1-inch diagonal pieces with a sharp knife.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before mixing.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough, or the cookies will be tough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for a more uniform shape and texture.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, but not overcooked.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Conclusion:
Magic carpet cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy center, crispy edges, and gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
