1/2
cup butter, softened
-
3/4
cup packed brown sugar
-
1/4
teaspoon salt
-
3
cups all-purpose flour
-
1
8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
-
1/3
cup seedless blackberry jam
-
1
cup flaked coconut
-
3/4
cup chopped walnuts, toasted
-
1/2
cup dried currants or dried blueberries

Powdered sugar
1. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and salt. Beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in flour until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Beat in sour cream until mixture is moistened and starts to cling. Gather mixture into a ball. Divide into three portions.
2. On a lightly powdered-sugared surface, roll out one of the dough portions into a 9-inch square. Spread with about 2 tablespoons of the jam; sprinkle with one-third of each of the coconut, walnuts, and currants. Roll up into a spiral; pinch edge to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining dough, jam, coconut, walnuts, and currants. Chill for 2 to 3 hours or until firm enough to slice.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, nonstick foil, or foil lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Using a serrated knife, cut rolls into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven about 12 minutes or until tops are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack. While warm, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Cool completely on wire rack. Makes about 48 cookies.
- Storage Layer cookies between waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Very good, but would like more intense blackberry flavor, so next time will use more jelly/jam. I think blueberry jam/jelly w/the dried blueberries would be good, too. Mine didn't brown very well, left them in too long & they got a little "almost burnt" on the bottom. Used a pastry cloth on the counter & rolling pin & gobs of powdered sugar & had no problem w/them sticking.

11/5/2010 10:01:08 AM Report AbuseRolling out the dough on "powdered sugar" made it more moist and very sticky, difficult to roll out. I switched to flour and that made it manageable, although it might have made the dough somewhat tough.
