This is an easy recipe if you want to kill some time with your kids:

I followed the recipe to the dot and the sweetness is not over-powering, which is great.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup icing sugar

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

lemon zest from 1 lemon

1/4 tsp raspberry jam (for each cookie)

Mix butter with sugar, add vanilla and lemon, then add flour. Form into 1 tablespoon balls then 'print' each cookie with your thumb. Makes 12 cookies.

This was all done by my 6-year-old. We filled half the cookies with grape jelly and half with orange marmalade.
