Butter Jumble Cookies Recipes

JAM FILLED BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and egg yolks. Mix in flour a little bit at a time until a soft dough forms. Roll dough into 1 inch balls. If dough is too soft, refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Place balls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Use your finger or an instrument of similar size to make a well in the center of each cookie. Fill the hole with 1/2 teaspoon of preserves.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.

BUTTER JUMBLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together.
• Blend in eggs and milk.
• Blend in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. 4 cups of flour is the quantity from the original recipe. I find that I need to add a little more flour to get a better consistency for rolling out the dough.
• Chill for 1 hour.
• Roll and cut as desired. I like to roll them out a little thin. This makes them crispy like my grandmother used to make. Use a well floured surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Place on a lightly greased or nonstick cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.

COCONUT JUMBLES

Steps:

• Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt together; set aside. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until light. Add the granulated sugar in two additions, beating until fluffy after each portion is added. Add the whole egg; beat for one minute. Add the egg yolks and continue beating for an additional minute. Blend in the vanilla extract and light cream. In three additions, add the sifted flour mixture, mixing just until the flour particles have been absorbed. The dough is quite sticky at this point.
• Divide the dough into three portions on sheets of wax paper; wrap up and refrigerate. Chill the dough until quite firm, at least four hours. (The dough may be kept, well wrapped and refrigerated, for up to four days before baking.)
• On a lightly floured wooden board, roll out a portion of dough oneeighth-inch thick. Stamp out cookies with a three- or three-and-one-half-inch cutter and place them, at least two inches apart, on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Have the coconut at your side. Brush egg white over the surface of each cookie, then top with a generous sprinkling of coconut. Lightly press down the coconut so that it sticks to the cookie.
• Bake each sheet of jumbles for 10 minutes in a preheated, 400-degree oven, on the lower third level. Remove the cookies from the sheet with a wide spatula to cooling racks. Store the jumbles in airtight containers.
