Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: Lynn K

Ingredients

1/2 cup powdered (confectioners) sugar
1 cup margarine (2 sticks)
2 1/4 tsp vanilla
zest from 1 lemon
1/2 cup matzah cake meal
1 1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 tsp salt
fruit preserves such as strawberry, raspberry, apricot

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

Use an electric mixer to beat together the powdered sugar and margarine; add vanilla and lemon zest.

In a small bowl, combine the matzah cake meal, potato starch, and salt.

Add dry ingredients to wet , and mix until the dough forms a ball. The dough will be very soft, but holds up well to being handled.

Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place on cookie sheets lined with either parchment or a silicone baking sheet.

Use your finger or thumb to gently make an indentation in the middle of each ball. The cookie may crack a little around the edges.

Fill each indentation with about 1/4 teaspoon of your favorite fruit preserves.

Bake about 14 minutes or until barely golden.

Cool on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

The cookies are a little crumbly, so handle with care!
