TRIOS...........A delectable little cookie!

Today was a good baking day...... we need to eat something loaded with calories like we need a hole in the head......... but I just felt like making cookies so I made a family favorite.....something called "Trios".....the recipe came from Gourmet magazine and I must say they are very delicious. I baked up only half the recipe which made a dozen cookies, just for me and the Boss....Tomorrow with the other half I think I'll make some spritz cookies with the new cookie press that Necie got me for Christmas....It's Oh so nice to have such a good neighbor and friend....Thanks Necie!!! Here's the recipe I hope you try them.....

2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

about 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam

about 2 tablespoons of peach or apricot jam

about 2 tablespoons of blackberry jam

whisk together flour and salt. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until very pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, then beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, mix in flour mixture in 3 batches until a dough forms. Divide dough in half and form each piece into a 6 inch disc, then chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, about 1 hour.

Assemble and bake cookies:

Preheat oven to 350 with rack in the middle. Line baking sheet with parchment.

Roll 3 separate level teaspoons of dough each into a ball, arrange them in a triangle on a baking sheet with edges touching in center, then make a deep indentation in the center of each round. I use my index finger that I dip in water with each cookie. arrange 1 inch apart on baking sheet.

Fill indentations in each cookie with a tiny bit of each of the jams.

Bake until cookies are baked through and golden brown on the edges, about 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet then sprinkle with a little powdered sugar....... Make some hot cocoa, don't forgot the whipped cream and chocolate jimmies and Enjoy!!!!!
