SPANISH BUTTER COOKIES 
2 c. flour
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 c. soft butter
1 unbeaten egg
2 tsp. vanilla

Form a dough. Place on lightly floured board and divide into 4 parts; shape each into a roll, 13 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. Place on ungreased baking sheets, 4 inches apart and 2 inches from edge of sheet.

Make a depression 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, lengthwise down center of each with a knife handle. Fill depressions with red jelly, jam or preserves. Strawberry is very good.

Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes until light golden brown. While warm, cut diagonally into bars. Cool on wire rack.
