Source:
| Sugar & Spice & All Things Iced Dough: | |
| 1/3 cup | sour cream |
| 1 | egg yolk, beaten |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
| 1 1/2 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 cup | white sugar |
| 3/4 cup | butter, (or margarine) |
| Stir together to blend sour cream, egg yolk and vanilla extract. In a separate large bowl stir together flour and sugar. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in sour cream mixture until well blended. Divide dough in half and chill until easy to handle (3 hours or so). Filling: | |
| 1 tablespoon | butter, (or margarine) |
| 1/4 cup | raisins |
| 1 tablespoon | brown sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | apple pie spice* |
| 2 medium | cooking apples, peeled and chopped** |
| In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add apples, raisins, brown sugar and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are fork tender. Remove excess liquid and cool. *Instead of apple pie spice you could substitute 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/4 t ground nutmeg, 1/8 t all spice, and a dash of ground ginger or cloves. **You could use chunky applesauce in place of the apples. Or fruit preserves for the filling. Assembly: Roll each piece of dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut with a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Fill rounds with a skimpy teaspoon of filling. Fold in half and seal edges with a fork. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet (or parchment paper). Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until light brown. Remove and cool. Lemon Sugar Icing: | |
| 1/2 cup | powdered sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | fresh lemon juice |
| 1-3 teaspoons | water |
Mix ingredients until drizzling consistency. If too thick, add a little more water, if too thin, add more powdered sugar. Drizzle over cooled cookies (I put it in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the corner to make it easier to drizzle).
