Raspberry Dream Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
• GLAZE:
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 to 3 teaspoons water

Directions

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extract; gradually add flour until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.
• Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center. Fill with jam.
• Bake at 350° for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
• Spoon additional jam into cookies if desired. Combine confectioners' sugar, extract and enough water to achieve drizzling consistency; drizzle over cookies
