Cookie Ingredients:
1 C butter (softened to room temperature)
2/3 C powdered sugar
2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C jam or jelly of your choice

Cookie Directions:
Using a stand mixer, or a hand mixer and large bowl cream butter until pale and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add powdered sugar and continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes. Mixture should be light and fluffy. Add 1/2 of the flour and mix until combined. Add the remaining flour and continue mixing until large crumbs form. Using your hands bring the dough together into a disc. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate 15-20 minutes until firm but not hard. Preheat oven to 325F/160C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside. Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide in 2. Lightly flour your work surface as well as the top of the dough. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 3 inch circles (or the shape of your choice). Gather scraps and re-roll. Continue rolling and cutting until all dough is used. Using a 1 inch cutter of your choice carefully cut out the center of HALF of your cookies. These will become the tops. Bake 7-10 minutes, or until edges are just starting to brown. Cool on pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread jam or jelly on the underside of all cookie bottoms and top with cookies that have cutouts. Lightly dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy your tasty cookies!
