Title: SPLIT SECONDS
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 48 cookies

3/4 c Butter, softened
2/3 c Sugar
2 ts Vanilla
1 Egg
2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Red jelly or preserves

Heat oven to 350F. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and
fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Stir in flour and baking
powder; mix well. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. On lightly floured
surface shape each part into 12 x 3/4 inch roll; place on ungreased
cookie sheets. Using handle of wooden spoon or finger, make depression
about 1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise down center of each roll.
Fill each roll with 2 tablespoons of jelly.

Bake at 350F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool
slightly; cut diagonally into strips. Cool completely on wire racks.

Notes: I always seem to get more than 48 - guess I'm cutting them too
small. If using jam, try to use seedless, or strain it first.
