Raspberry Jam Sandwich Cookies


Sandwich cookies rock man. They can hold so much flavour, since you can stick stuff in the middle, and they are easy to make, yet make you look like a professional chef. This recipe is great, since it has a certain texture and moisture that will be loved by everyone. It is easy to make to! You'll need...

1 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2/3 cup margarine
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tbsp soy milk
1 1/2 cup flour

Raspberry Jam

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
In a food processor, chop the cup of slivered almonds until they are a fine flour. Then, in a bowl, mix the almonds, margarine, sugar, lemon juice, and soy milk. Then, last, add the flour. If you find it too wet add more flour, and if you find it too dry, add more soy milk.


Take your 1/4 cup slivered almonds and chop them in the food processor, in to less of a fine flour (still has some chunks but small). Take your dough and roll it out. Using a cooky cutter- I have a special one for making sandwiches- or use one big circle and a small circle, begin to cut out your cookies. Make sure you have equal bottoms and tops. If you are using two different sized cookie cutters, make 20 cookies with the big one, then in ten of those use the smaller circle to make a hole in the middle. On the top cookies (ones with holes) sprinkle on some of the almonds you just processed. Cook them for 10 minutes.


When they are done, let them cool, then take your jam and place it on the bottom of the cookies without holes. Take a top piece (with a hole) and place it on top to make the sandwich. At this point, you can freeze them too. If you want them to be extra fresh though, just freeze the cookies without the jam, and then put the jam on them just before you serve them.

Yay BAKING!!!
