Magic Carpet Cookies

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375. Mix butter, sugar, egg & flavoring till creamy.
2. Mix dry ingredients; blend into butter mix. Divide dough in half.
3. Reserve half for trim. Roll remaining half into two rectangles, 12*6", on well floured cloth covered board. Cut each rectangle lengthwise in 3 equal strips. With spatula, carefully lift each strip onto ungreased baking sheet, placing 1" apart. Spoon reserved cookie dough into cookie press. If dough is too dry to go through press, work in 1-2 teaspoon cream. Using smallest star design, press out in long ropes on each side of each strip & also one down center. Bake about 10 min or possibly till edges are browned. Cold. Fill in between the rows of "trim" with jelly or possibly Icing. Cut carefully 1" diagonal pcs with sharp knife.
