Hungarian Cookies with Filling

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

Back in 1958 my dad befriended a Hungarian refugee couple. This is one of her recipes.
Very pretty for a ladies shower or luncheon.

I would at least double this recipe if not triple. It is very similar to a Lindsor Cookie. Don’t roll too thin, don’t roll too thick. This is kind of a harder cookie to figure out.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine (I used half unsalted butter and half margarine.)
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 & 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Mix sugars, margarine, shortening and egg until creamy.

  2. Stir in flour, salt and baking soda.

  3. Refrigerate 2 hours. Overnight is even better. If you double or triple, work with a little of the dough at a time and keep the rest in the refrigerator.

  4. Roll out.

  5. Cut bottom part of cookie with a biscuit cutter…place just a dab of fruit preserves in center…cut tops out with a donut cutter (or you can use the biscuit cutter then use something small to cut a hole in the center).

  6. Place on top of cookie with filling and press edges lightly to seal together.

  7. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 7-9 minutes at 400 degrees.
