This recipe brings me back to the days of my famous jam cookies when I was a kid. I had found a recipe in a magazine, and they were amazing. Of course, I never wrote said recipe down! So it's lost! This is pretty close to it, though! Ah, the memories!
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. butter/margarine
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
raspberry, strawberry, or apricot jam
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter sticks with sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mix on low speed. Form dough into a ball & divide in half. Roll each dough half between wax paper about 1/4 in. thick. (Chill dough for easier rolling!) Cut out cookies with 2 1/2 in. round cookie cutter. Cut out center of half of the cookies with 1 in. round cutter. Arrange on un-greased cookie sheets.
Bake 9 minutes at 350- or until edges are slightly golden. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool. Just before serving, spread small amount of jam on each whole cookie then top with cut-out cookies. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar (optional).
Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen
