Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a smooth dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
-
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a ball. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Take one portion of the chilled dough and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
-
Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the rolled-out dough.
-
Place half of the circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
-
Spoon a small amount of your chosen jam into the center of each circle on the baking sheet. Be careful not to overfill.
-
Top each filled circle with another dough circle and gently press the edges together to seal the cookies.
-
Using a fork, crimp the edges of the cookies to create a decorative pattern and to ensure they are sealed properly.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
