Stagecl Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I always forget about these cookies and totally enjoy them when I make them. There are few ingredients so they go together quickly. They are from the 1954 Pillsbury Bake-off and are sort of like a shortbread. Split Seconds 3/4 C margarine or butter, softened 2/3 C sugar 2 tsp vanilla 1 egg 2C all purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 C raspberry jam or preserves Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Stir in flour and baking powder; mix well. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, shape each part into a 12 x 3/4 inch roll; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Using handle of wooden spoon or finger, make a depression about 1/2 inches wide and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise down the center of each roll. Fill each roll with 2 tablespoons jam. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly; cut diagonally into strips. Cool completely on wire racks. Yield 4 dozen cookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I feel the need to make these cookies and eat them. Is the "split second" title mean it takes a split second to make them or a split second to eat them. I'm guessing the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbigailE Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I think it means it takes a split second to add it to my hips...... just over the lips you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Abigail, I agree:o there are times I think I should just paste it all on my hips instead of consuming it since it ends up there anyway. Definitely would be more colorful:P:o:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
