These are so simple even someone who doesn't really bake can make them. They are great for kids to make.
Raspberry Jam Cookies
2 1/4 c flour
1 c sugar
3/4 softened butter
1 egg
raspberry preserves or jam (or jam of you choice)
Heat oven to 350
Put flour, sugar, butter and egg in a large bowl. With your HANDS (no mixer used) mix all together until a dough forms. Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut. Put on an ungreased cookie sheet. In the center using your thumb press dough down to have an indentation. Fill the indentation with jam about 1/2 full. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
