OLD-FASHIONED JELLY COOKIES
2 cups flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature, cut into slices
1/2 cup plus 2 to 3 tbsp. sugar
1 egg, separated
1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
approximately 1/3 cup jam or jelly
In large mixing bowl or food processor, combine flour, butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, and the egg yolk and blend until smooth dough is formed. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
WHEN READY TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease several baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
On lightly floured board, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out an even number of 2-inch rounds. Using a thimble or 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut center out of half of the rounds. Brush the rounds with cutout centers with egg white and sprinkle with almonds and remaining sugar. Leave remaining rounds plain. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until set and just barely golden around the edges. Transfer cookies to wire racks. Cool.
Top cooled cookies without holes with about 1/2 teaspoon jelly or jam. Place cookies with holes over the jam, almond-sugar side up, to make sandwiches.
Makes approximately 50 cookies
