I spent today making christmas cookies to give out as gifts to family, friends, etc. I tried out three new recipes, two came out really well, the other, not so much. It was a russian tea cookie recipe, I don't think it had enough sugar, it just tastes like a ball of flour. I'll have to try another recipe soon, because I love that kind of cookie.
Now, for the successes!
First is just a basic sugar cookie. I rolled mine in colored sugar.

ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

Second Rosenmunnar, or Swedish Thumbprint cookies. They were oh so good, and super easy. I used Blackberry and Raspberry Jam.
ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup any flavor fruit jam
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add sifted flour, and mix well. Shape dough into 1 inch diameter balls and place on cookie sheets. Imprint your thumb in the center to make a 1/2 inch indentation. Fill with your favorite preserves.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown at the edges.
Have a great week!
