Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 2/3 cup ground almonds
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoon shortening
Directions
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour and ground almonds; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/4-inch round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Spread jam on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip half of each sandwich cookie into chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper until set. Store in an airtight container
