Spice Mingles
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup  butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup  packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon  milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon  ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup  orange marmalade, fruit pieces snipped
  • 2 ounces  white chocolate baking squares (with cocoa butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon  shortening
Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar; beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg yolk, milk, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cloves until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.

2. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a 9-inch-long log. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours or until dough is firm enough to slice.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool.

4. Just before serving, spread 1/2 teaspoon of the marmalade on the bottom of each of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, bottom sides down. In a heavy small saucepan, combine white chocolate and shortening; heat and stir over low heat until mixture is melted. Place white chocolate mixture in a resealable heavy plastic bag. Snip a small corner off bag. Drizzle white chocolate mixture over cookies. Let stand to set. Makes 36 sandwich cookies.
