Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for dusting 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces 1/4 cup pineapple juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for sprinkling

  • 1 pint raspberries (2 1/2 cups) 1/2 pint blackberries (1 1/2 cups) 2 nectarines, sliced 3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cookies: In a food processor, pulse togetherflour, confectioners’ sugar, and butter until large clumps form. With the motor running, pour in pineapple juice and then vanilla; process until dough just comes together (about 30 seconds).

Transfer dough to a floured surface; roll out to a 12-inch round. With a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. Gather scraps; roll and cut out more rounds (to make about 20).

Place rounds on a baking sheet; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake until golden brown on the bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet.

Meanwhile, make the filling: In a 2-quart microwave-safe dish, arrange fruit in layers, sprinkling each layer with sugar; do not stir. Cover; microwave on high until nectarines are soft and juice has collected in the bottom, about 5 minutes. Uncover carefully; let cool.

To assemble, place a cookie in the bottom of each of six small serving dishes. Dividing evenly, spoon filling into dish. Top with another cookie, and garnish with mint, if desired.

Cook’s Notes This recipe makes about 20 cookies, but you need only 12 for the parfaits.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/18/2008   What is wrong with you people? You are so rude I can't believe it. So someone made a mistake. Is that the end of the world? Does it give you the right to mouth off in such an inconsiderate way. I read the directions and couldn't figure out what you were all complaining about. Maybe it's YOU who has the problem . . . not MSO. Come on . . . you can point out a mistake and still be nice!!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   Someone forgot to edit this recipe; it definitely needs clarification!!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   "Prepare dough" doesn't really say much. Although the ingredients are included, this is a recipe, and instructions are necessary.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   To make cookies that look like this, they appear to be rolled and sliced, maybe after refrigeration? Help! I think some of the directions are missing on this!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   Obviously the dough is rolled out and cut out with a round cookie cutter. I agree that the directions are too vague, not all readers are pros in the baking department but good everyday cooks who like to have complete directions.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   How about a few more directions on the making of the cookies?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2008   How do you make the cookies? They sound good but are they dropped or rolled and in what order do you make the dough.
