3 1/2 dozen

1 C. sweet softened butter, do not substitute
2/3 C. sugar
1/2 tea. almond extract or flavoring
2 C. flour
1/3 to 1/2 C. seedless raspberry jam

Glaze
1 C. powderedsugar
2 to 3 tea. water
1/2 tea. almond extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat together the butter and sugar until well blended. Beat in extract and gradually add flour until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Roll dough into 1-in. balls. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased cookie sheets. With the end of a wooden spoon or your finger, make an indentation in the center of ball and fill with raspberry jam.

Bake 14 to 18 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

(You can spoon additional jam onto cookies if you like.)

Combine the glaze ingredients mixing well until smooth and drizzle over cookies.
