This cookie is the best of both worlds. Who doesn't like jam and cookies! The sweet taste of the jam mixed with the sugar cookie makes for a delicious treat. I was making these cookies for my grandmas birthday and they were sure a hit. You can make them in any shape! You will need two of the same cookie cutter shapes, one large and one small. First, roll the dough out and cut out cookies in desired shape. Then, take the smaller cookie cutter and place in the middle of the large cookie and cut the middle out. Bake cookies let cool on cookie tray then transfer to cooling rack. When cookies are completely cooled you can place the icing and jam in the middle of the cookies and stick together. Place cookies in the fridge to bind them together. Try them out.
Jam Rings
1 Cup Butter Softened
3/4 Cups Sugar
1 Egg Yolk Lightly Beaten
2 Tsp Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
A Pinch of Salt
1 Egg White Lightly Beaten (to brush over cookies)
Filling:
4 Tbsp Butter Softened
1 Cup Confectioners Sugar
5 Tbsp Strawberry or Raspberry Jam Warmed
1. Place butter and sugar into a large bowl and mix together until light and fluffy.
2. In a separate bowl combine: egg yolk, and vanilla. Once mixed together add to sugar and butter mixture.
3. Next, slowly add flour with electric mixer. Once mixed toss in a pinch of salt.
4. Roll dough into two separate balls and place into fridge for at least an hour.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a floured surface roll out dough. Cut out shapes and place to the side. After cutting the dough evenly divided the cookies. Take half the cookies and place the smaller cookie cutter in the middle and cut the shape out. Bake cookies for 7 minutes. At the end of the seven minutes take out cookies and spread egg yolk over cookies with a brush and sprinkle with sugar. Place back in oven for an additional 5-8 minutes.
6. While cookies are cooling you can mix together the filling. Simply add soft butter and confectioners sugar together to make a icing texture.
7. Lastly, you can now put the cookies together. Smooth a thin layer of the icing all over the whole cookie adding heated jam on top. Next, place the cookie with the centre missing and place it on top the jam filling. Put cookie in the fridge for filling to try.
