Method

• Prepare the Ultimate Cookie Dough and divide it into four equal parts.
• Wrap in plastic and refrigeratefor 30 min or possibly chill up to 4 days.
• Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or possibly use a clean, ungreased baking sheet.
• Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and knead lightly till it is pliable.
• Divide the dough into 2 parts.
• Shape each part into a rope about 12 inches long by rolling between your hands and the work surface.
• Place ropes on the baking sheet.
• Either the side of your finger or possibly with the handle of a wooden spoon, make an indentation down the center of each strip.
• Bake for 10 min at 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, put the jam into a small heavy duty zip-top plastic bag, (the type without a pleat).
• Snip a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and press jam down the center of the partially baked cookies.
• Return to the oven and bake 5 min longer or possibly till the cookies are lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and sufficient water to make a frosting thin sufficient to drizzle over the cookies.
• While the cookies are still hot, cut them diagonally into 1-inch lengths.
• Drizzle with the frosting.
• Cold completely before removing from the pan or possibly from the parchment paper.
