Swedish Shortbread Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:
1 c of butter; melted
2-2.5 c of flour
1/2 c & 2 Tbsps of sugar

For the Filling:
1/3 c of jam (raspberry or your preference)

For the Glaze:
2-3 tsps of water
1 c of sugar; powdered
1 tsp of almond extract

Instructions:

Set oven at 350 degrees F.

With a bowl (large), mix sugar and butter. Add the flour. Incorporate well. Afterward, divide dough in 6 equal pieces. With a baking sheet, turn each piece into strips (1.5 x 12).

Use the handle of a knife in making small indentations along the length down to the middle part of every strip. Make sure that indentations aren’t deep so that it won’t break. Stuff indentations w/ the raspberry jam.

Cook the strips in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes (edges turn golden brown). Use a small-sized bowl, then mix all the ingredients for the glaze. As the strips are warm, immediately shower glaze crosswise into strips, then slice it to 1-inch strips.
