Valentine Rich Rolled Cookies image

Very rich and buttery cookies from my friend Elisabeth. Just perfect for children, grandchildren and a few left over for us. A number of people have added that they baked the cookies for a longer time. I tried that, and my cookies burned. Then I realized it is because I roll them VERY thin. I measured a baked cookie, and it was 1/16". So, if you roll them thin, pay attention to the time, if they are not quite that thin it will take more time than I stated in the recipe. I also use this recipe for Easter cookies, and have posted some Easter cookie pictures. Today, 4th of July, we made Independance Day cookies. I baked them for 5 minutes. My sister-in-law says what makes them so good is how thin I roll them.

Time 45m

Yield 60 Cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter (yes, 2 sticks!)
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
water
2 egg whites
3 cups confectioners' sugar
fresh lemon juice, 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar.
  • Beat in egg and flavoring.
  • Combine and add flour and salt.
  • Chill dough 3-4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Roll thinly and cut.
  • Bake 5-7 minutes, (this is because I roll them very thin,you might want to cook them longer if you don't roll them thin -- see other peoples notes).
  • Ice with either Almond or Royal Icing.
  • The Almond Icing is a thin icing that you can "paint" on the cookies. I actually use paint brushes, and have fun coloring the icing.
  • The Royal Icing dries hard. It can be used to "glue" tails back on kittens (cookies) and trunks on elephants. It also holds the cookies together better for shipping. I use a small metal spatula for spreading this, and use a lot of sprinkles and other adornments with this icing.
  • The amounts of sugar and liquid are flexible to your own preferred consistency.

I'm not a big fan of raspberry filling, so I used strawberry filling instead. It was delicious!

I used a different type of chocolate chips than the recipe called for, and they turned out just as good.

I would recommend chilling the dough for at least an hour before rolling and baking. It makes the dough much easier to work with.

I found the dough to be a little difficult to work with, but the cookies turned out great in the end.
