Yield 48 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2/3 cup red raspberry preserves

Scoop by the tablespoon onto baking sheets, make a dent on top with your thumb (or the top of the almond extract bottle, which is the perfect size). Place 1 tsp of raspberry preserves on each cookie. Top with a small amount of cookie dough (1/2 to 1 level teaspoonful, a blob about the size of a peanut M&M candy).
