From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. This recipe
came with the press. The press is old.
Beat:
1 c butter
3/4 c sugar
Add:
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
Add:
2 1/4 c flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
food coloring (optional)
Bake @ 375, 7-8 minutes
Careful not to brown, bake until set.
Chill dough if it gets too soft & spreads.
Should hold shape while baking.
Add more flour if necessary.
Press cookies filled with raspberry jam
then draped in milk chocolate
For cherry topped press
cookies, make as directed.
Top cookie with half a
maraschino cherry before
baking. If that's too much
cherry for you, cut the
maraschino into quarters.
"Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition."

For Halloween: added orange food
coloring to dough, sandwiched with
white chocolate.
