Ischler Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sifted flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups finely grated walnuts (grate in blender)
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold sweet butter
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 cup (6 oz) semisweet chocolate pieces

Directions

  1. Mix flour, sugar, and walnuts. Add butter; knead until smooth and firm. Work quickly to keep butter from melting. Chill dough 1 hour.
  2. Roll out 1/4 of dough at a time on a floured board to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds. Repeat until all dough is used, making 72 circles.
  3. Place on ungreased cookie sheets; bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
  4. Cool on cookie sheets. Spread half the cookies with raspberry jam.
  5. Melt chocolate bits over hot water. Spread a thin layer of chocolate over remaining cookies. Place chocolate-covered cookies on top of cookies spread with jam.
