Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Grated peel of 1 lemon
1/2 cup cold butter
1/4 cup cherry, grape or strawberry jam
1/4 cup ground almonds
2 oz semisweet baking chocolate, very finely chopped
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolks, baking soda and lemon peel. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture comes together and begins to form a wet dough. (Or mix with electric mixer using dough hook attachment.) Gather dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate while making filling.
  • In small bowl, mix jam, almonds and chocolate until well combined.
  • With floured hands, shape teaspoonfuls of dough into about 24 balls; flatten each ball into a round. Press 1 round on bottom and up side of ungreased mini muffin cup. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon filling into cup. Top with a second round; seal edges. Repeat with remaining dough rounds and filling.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm or cool.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were still edible, but they weren't as crispy or flavorful as I expected.

These cookies are a bit sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar in the filling.
