Smucker's Jelly Cookies
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1-1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Smucker's preserves (any flavor)
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Stir in flour and salt; mix well. Stir to make smooth dough. (If dough gets too hard to stir, mix with hands.)
Refrigerate about two hours. Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease baking sheets. On a lightly floured board, roll out half of the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch cookie cutter. Roll out remaining dough; cut with a 2-1/2 cutter with a hole in the middle. Place on baking sheets. Bake eight to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool about 30 minutes.
Spread preserves on plain cookie; place cookie with the hole on top.
Makes approximately three dozen cookies.
