Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 C Butter
1/2 C Granulated Sugar
3 C Flour
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Jar Apricot Preserves (Or Your Favorite)
4X Sugar
Oven 400 degrees F.
Cream butter and sugar until light. Add flour and salt. Chill slightly and
roll 1/8" thick between wax paper sheets. Roll only a small amount of dough
at a time. Using a 2 1/2" cookie cutter, cut cookies. Cut centers out of
half of cookies (I use my thimble to cut centers.) Bake all cookies on
ungreased sheets at 400 for 8 to 10 minutes or less, until very lightly
browned. Cool on wire racks. Spread whole cookies with preserves, piled
higher in center. Top with cookie ring. Sprinkle with 4x sugar.
