This recipe is one I've had since grammar school. I went to private school, Fieldston, in the Bronx, and I have wonderful memories of the Home-ec classes thought by Camille. I've been storing a yellowing piece of notebook paper, with my 4th grade hand writing, and smudging ink for ever, and even though I cannot eat these cookies anymore, because of the sugar, but they are by far a recipe worth sharing.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Butter1/2 Cup Sugar
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flower
1/2 cup corn starch
Jelly, Jam or Nuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix butter and sugar.
Add egg and extract.
Sift flour and corn starch together and mix in to form dough.
Form dough with hands into small balls. Place balls onto a greased or silicon/parchment lined cookie sheet. Press into center of each ball to make an indentation/hole for the jelly.
Fill the center with one of your favorite flavors of jam or nuts. My favorite is raspberry.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until slightly brown.
