Key Lime Jewel Cookies

These cookies are so yummy, just tart enough from the lime and sweet enough from the raspberry. Very pretty, jewel toned gems to munch on too!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2
In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and lime zest; set aside.
- 3
In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together.
- 4
Add the egg yolks, and combine well.
- 5
Next, mix in the almond extract, and the lime juice.
- 6
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix well.
- 7
Add the water to make the dough come together more easily.
- 8
Add the green food coloring and work through the dough to get even color.
- 9
Lay the chopped pine nuts out in one layer on a plate.
- 10
Pinch off chunks of the dough and roll them between your hands to form 1 inch balls.
- 11
Roll the dough balls in the pine nuts to get them evenly coated, and then place them on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- 12
Take your index finger and make an indent into the middle of each dough ball.
- 13
Carefully drop 1 teaspoon of the raspberry preserves into each indent on your cookies.
- 14
Bake for about 35 minutes, or when the pine nuts start to lightly brown on the edges.(Your cookies may bake quicker, my oven is not the best, just use your best judgement folks).
- 15
Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheets for a couple minutes.
- 16
Then transfer the cookies to cooling racks to cool completely before lightly dusting them with the powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Little Jam Cookies Little Jam Cookies
I'm really into baking cookies lately. I adapted this recipe from a cookbook and made these cute cookies.-The jam will be easier to spoon into the indentations if you make sure to stir and soften it well.-If using jam with big chunks of fruit in it, make sure you cut the chunks into smaller pieces.

Lemony Meltaway Cookies Lemony Meltaway Cookies
These cookies have a slightly crumbly melt-in-your-mouth texture. If lemon isn’t your thing, any other citrus fruit could conceivably work. The glaze is optional. Alternatively, you could sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar while they’re still warm. Or, you could skip any topping entirely and eat them as is.#Holiday #Christmas #Dessert #Gift Chris Gan -
Linzer cookies Linzer cookies
Easy to make cookies. Almond flour and vanilla extract make these cookies a very nice treat. A cup of tea and Linzer cookies are making a perfect match. First they are going to be crispy but once u pit them in an air tight box for 1 night they r going to turn delicious and soft. :-) Alexandra -
