Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • frosting:
  • 5 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1-1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 to 10 tsp 2% milk
  • 3/4 tsp baking cocoa
  • 2 drops yellow food coloring
  • 1 jar (12 oz) cherry preserves

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into two 6-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
  2. Unwrap and cut into 3/8-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  3. For frosting, in a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve piping consistency. Tint frosting with cocoa and food coloring. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; fill with frosting.
  4. Spread preserves over cookies to within 1/4 in. of edges. Pipe lines across the top of each cookie, forming a lattice. Pipe a fluted edge around the tops of cookies. Yield: 5 dozen.
