Yule Love These Sugar Plum Cookies
By: 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)

A simple recipe using cookie dough and jam, yet eye-catching elegant at your buffet table. You will need a small 3/4" cookie cutter with a simple design. You can also make your own sugar cookies or slice the pre-made ones thicker, then roll them out with a rolling pin to make larger cookies. 
2 dozen
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated sugar cookie dough (Pillsbury refrigerated log style)
- 1/4 cup plum preserves
- colored crystal sugar (green and or red)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F Slice cookies into 1/8 inch slices.2
To half the cookies, cut out centers using a small Christmas cookie cutter (or carefully use a sharp pointed knife to make a tree or simple design).3
To the other half, use a marble or small round item and indent a small well in the center, rolling almost to the edges with the marble.4
Place about 1/2 tsp of the plum preserves leaving the edges free of jam. Top with the cut out slices. Press edges to seal and sprinkle with the colored sugar crystals.5
Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake aprox 8-10 minutes.

I tried this using a home made sugar cookie dough and homemade plum preserves. Despite great beginnings, I was had some trouble with the final results as the dough beneath the preserves didn't quite set up and was unpleasant in taste and texture. Not really quite sure what happened as I love pocket or filled cookies and have had no trouble before. Wondering if the dough I chose as basic sugar cookie was perhaps too delicate for the jam, and that the results using commercial dough in the end would have been superior. The cookies were very pretty and I did use the small 6-point star from my Linzer cookie cutter.

They were very easy to make. I used the pre-made cookie dough for these the first time I made them, so I can follow the recipe all the way through. I would use a homemade sugar cookie dough the next time though. I used a white sugar for decorating and it looked so pretty. This is the cookie that you imagine when you think of sugar plums dancing. This could very easily be made into any flavor you desire with the use of different preserves. I'd like to try this with star cutouts and blueberry and cherry fillings for summer bbqs.
