3/4 c. butter
2/3 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla or almond flavoring
Raspberry OR apricot jam
10 x sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the egg. Mix in the flour and baking soda which have been sifted together. Add your choice of flavoring and blend well. (It works very well to do this recipe in a food processor.) Form dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Make a depression in the center of each ball with your thumb. Put about 1/4 teaspoon of your choice of jam in each "belly." Bake 15 minutes. Cool. Dust with 10x sugar, if desired. (3 dozen.)
