Jam Diagonals

I have been looking for a jam cookie recipe and this looks so yummy!  I cant' wait to try it.  I found this recipe here

Jam Diagonals

1/2 C butter, softened

1/4 C granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt

1 1/4 C flour

1/3 C raspberry jam

3/4 C powdered sugar

4 tsp lemon juice

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and salt until creamy and fluffy.  Gradually stir in flour until blended.  Divide dough into fourths.  On lightly floured surface, with hands, roll each fourth into a 9″ rope.  Place 3″ apart on greased cookie sheet.  With finger make 1/2″ depression down center of each rope. (Ropes will flatten to about 1″ wide strips).  Fill depressions with jam, using a small spoon.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.  Cool on cookie sheet. 

For frosting, blend powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and carefully spread over jam.  As soon as frosting is set, cut diagonally.
