Preparation

Step 1

Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl until well blended. Add melted chocolate, egg, vanilla, chocolate extract , baking soda, and salt; beat until light. Blend in flour to make stiff dough. Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap (I use waxed paper), refrigerate until firm.


Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. Roll dough, half at a time, 1/8" thick between two sheets of plastic wrap. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. (If dough gets too soft and sticks to plastic, refrigerate until firm.) Cut dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place about 1/2 teaspoon jam on center of each square; top with another square. Using fork, press edges of squares together to seal; pierce center of each square.

Bake 10 minutes or just until edges are browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
