Jam Cookies

2 1/2 c. AP flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 sticks of butter, softened (no margarine)

Combine and mix well together.
Divide dough into 3 equal parts, roll into log shapes, lenght of a cookie sheed. Pat down lightly, forming into 3 logs of equal size. Gently make "ditch" in middle of each log. Fill ditch with 1/3 cup seedless raspberry preserves. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Take 1/2 c. powdered sugar and 1 T. of water; mix together to make glaze. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven spread the glaze over them. Let cool for 15 minutes, slice diagonally and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
