GUAVA JAM FILLED COOKIES
Ingredients
8 oz butter or margarine
8 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla essence
3 – 3½ cups sifted flour
¼ tsp salt
Guava jam
Granulated sugar
Directions
- Cream margarine and icing sugar until light.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the guava jam and granulated sugar. Mix well until the ingredients come together in a soft but firm dough. The dough should be able to be shaped easily and hold.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using hands, form the dough into even sized balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Using the end of a chopstick or wooden spoon, form a small indentation in the centre of each cookie.
- Fill the centre with guava jam and sprinkle the cookie with a little sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies.
- Remove and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
