1 C. (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 C. powderedsugar
1 lrg. egg yolk
1 tea. vanilla extract
2 1/2 C. flour

Filling
About 1/2 C. raspberry jam (or any flavor -  apricot is
    wonderful - or whatever your preference)
1/2 C. confectioners sugar
2 tea. fresh lemon juice
1 tea. cream, milk or water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Make the dough. In a lrg. bowl- cream the butter and sugar with a mixer. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until light. Add the flour a little at a time and mix till dough smooth.

Divide the dough in 4 parts. On a countertop roll each part into a strand about 3/4 in in diameter and the length of your cookie sheet. Place the strands about 2 in. apart on the sheet.

With the side of your finger, press a groove down the center of the length of each strand. Bake for 10 min and the cookies feel firm to the touch.

Remove cookies from oven and spoon jam into the groove. Return to oven for about 5-10 min. until the cookies feel firm to the touch.

Mix powderedsugar, lemon juice and cream in a sm. bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cookies.

While cookies are still warm, cut them at a 45 degree angle into 1-in. lengths. Let cool on baking sheet. When icing is set transfer to airtight container.
