Ingredients

2 cups butter, softened(no substitutions recommended)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

juice from 1 large lemon

1t lemon zest

4 cups flour

assorted "all fruit" preserves(ie blueberry, orange, raspberry, etc)

finely crushed pecans(optional)

Directions

In stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.

Add lemon juice and zest and beat well.

Slowly add flour until combined.

Chill for about 2 hours.

Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in crushed pecans, if desired.

Place on baking sheet or stone about 1 inch apart.

Press indentation with thumb in center of each ball, and fill with tsp of preserves.

Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes until lightly browned.

**These cookies are sometimes difficult to judge doneness, so I suggest baking them for 15-17 minutes and let cool completely on cookie sheet or stone.**
