      Title: SPLIT SECONDS
 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 48 cookies

    3/4 c  Butter, softened
    2/3 c  Sugar
      2 ts Vanilla
      1    Egg
      2 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Red jelly or preserves

  Heat oven to 350F.  In large bowl, beat butter 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 portions.  On lightly floured
  surface shape each part into 12 x 3/4 inch roll; place on ungreased
  cookie sheets.  Using handle of wooden spoon or finger, make depression
  about 1/2 inch wide and 1/4 inch deep lengthwise down center of each roll.
  Fill each roll with 2 tablespoons of jelly.

  Bake at 350F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool
  slightly; cut diagonally into strips.  Cool completely on wire racks.

  Notes:  I always seem to get more than 48 - guess I'm cutting them too
  small.  If using jam, try to use seedless, or strain it first.
