Filled Shortbread Cookies

I looove to try new recipes. I freeze everything I can and I love to help people fill their freezer, whether it is by me personally, or to help educate those who want to learn.

From my neighbors, the Overbey's. I ate one cookie like this and had to have more. Yum

1 cup Unsalted butter

⅔ cup sugar

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

Jelly, Jam or preserves

subheading: Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar

½ tsp pure vanilla

half and half or milk to make a thick but drizzly icing

Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in Vanilla. Then add flour. Mix well, then chill no more than one hour. When chilled, roll into 1" balls. Place on a cookie sheet. Make a well in each ball, using your thumb. Fill the well with jelly, jam or preserves, etc. Bake 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or when golden. Cook on cookie sheet 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to cooking rack.

Make icing and use a spoon to drizzle it back and forth over your cookies.
