empire biscuit euphoria
ah empire biscuits…i am incapable of getting through christmas without the urge to make these yummy cookies (and the urge to eat them). normally with baking, my happiness comes from giving. but with these cookies my desire is to hide/horde them for myself. bad girl, happy girl.
Empire Biscuits
yield: Makes 18 to 20 sandwiches
Ingredients
- DOUGH
- 2 cups of butter (4 sticks) softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 4 cups of flour, sifted
- FILLING & ICING
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar approximately
- milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour until well blended.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a cookie cutter.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Sandwich one teaspoon of jam between two cookies. Repeat with remaining cookies
- In a medium bowl, gradually stir the milk into the confectioners’ sugar until the icing is of a spreadable consistency. Spread on top of the sandwiched cookies. Now traditionally you top each cookie with half of a cherry (I prefer those little cinnamon candies for cake decorating) while the icing is still wet.
