INSTRUCTIONS:

In mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Beat in extract; gradually add flour until dough forms a ball.  Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.  Roll into 1” balls.  Place 1” apart on un-greased baking sheets.  Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center.  Fill with jam.

 

Bake at 350 F. for 14-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Remove to wire racks to cool.  Spoon additional jam into cookies if desired.  Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over cookies.
