      Yield: 16 Cookies
 
      6 tb Butter
    1/4 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Brown sugar; packed
      1    Egg
    1/2 ts Vanilla
  1 1/2 c  All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/3 c  Apple butter or your
           -favorite jam
      3 tb Walnuts or pecans; chopped
           -(optional)
      1 tb Sugar
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
 
  In a large mixer bowl beat butter or margarine with electric mixer on
  medium speed until softened (about 30 seconds).  Add the 1/4 cup
  sugar and brown sugar and beat until fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla.
  Beat well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt.  Gradually add
  flour mixture, beating well. Cover; chill 1 to 2 hours or until firm
  enough to roll out.
  
  Turn oven to 375 degrees F.  On a lightly floured surface roll out
  dough into a 12 inch square.  Cut into 3 inch squares.  Spread about
  1 teaspoon of the apple butter or jam down the middle of each square.
  If desired, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon chopped nuts over apple
  butter or jam on each square.
  
  Fold one edge of the dough over the filling.  Fold over the other
  edge. With a pancake turner carefully lift cookies onto ungreased
  cookie sheets. With a knife, make 3 cuts halfway through dough on one
  long side of each cookie.  Bend slightly to separate cuts.
  
  Combine the 1 tablespoon sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over
  cookies. Bake 375 degree F oven for 8-10 minutes.  When done lift
  cookies to cooling rack.

  Makes 16 cookie.
