Directions
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add strawberry jam and mix well. Be sure to scrape the sides a few times. Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix it all up. Seriously, don't forget to scrape the sides. That strawberry jam is a wild one. Add baking powder and salt and mix again. Add flour 1 cup at a time. IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE THESE COOKIES RIGHT AWAY, add 5 cups of flour and get your cookies made. No need to chill the dough. If you are not going to use the dough immediately-- stop at 4 1/2 cups of flour. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Bake at 350 F for 7 minutes.
- I'm just going to preempt your emails right here.
- ** USE FREEZER JAM. I've been getting emails that this recipe isn't working with the other kinds of jams!
- ** I use salted butter because I like it You can use what you want. I let mine sit out on the counter for 15 minutes. I like it to be just a little soft, but not melting in a puddle all over my kitchen.
- ** Yes, you can use this recipe with cookie cutters.
- ** If you want to, you can substitute the zested and juiced lemon for 2 Tbsp of lemon juice. From the little plastic squeezy thing even. I am not a judger of lemon juice.
- ** I used freezer jam. It's my very favoritest kind of jam in the whole wide world. You can use whatever kind of jam is your favoritest.
- ** It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the cookies bake up with a light pink color. You could definitely add a little pink food coloring. You know, if you wanted to.
- Here's what I want to know. What flavor of icing do you think would taste best with these cookies? Vanilla? Lemon? Coconut-kiwi-blue hawaiian- butterscotch-horchata? Because so far, everyone here is eating them without icing. Or with jam. Because every cookie needs just a little more sugar.
