How to make Jam-filled Sandwich Cookies (55 cookie sandwiches):

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup of Unsalted Butter
• 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 1/2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
• 3 1/2 Cups of All-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 tsp of Lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp of Baking soda
• 1/2 tsp of Salt
• 1/3 Cup of Buttermilk (or yogurt)
• Jam
• Powdered Sugar (for dusting)

• 2 Baking sheets (lined with Parchment paper)
• Large Bowl
• Hand held Electric mixer
• Rolling pin (optional: with a spacer)
• Cookie cutter (for dusting with Powdered sugar)
• Cooling Baking wire rack

Directions:

• Line 2 Baking sheets with Parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix together: flour, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt.
• Use a Large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 5 min).
• Add egg, egg yolk and Vanilla extract, continue mixing.

• Add Buttermilk (or yogurt), continue mixing.

• Fold in the flour mixture and create a dough.

• Divide the dough into two sections and chill in the fridge for 30 min.

• Set oven to 350 F.
• On a floured surface, roll the dough into 1/4 inch with a rolling pin with a spacer (to ensure an even thickness).
• Using a lightly floured cookie cutter, cut shapes (hearts).

• Place cut-out cookies on the parchment lined baking sheet 1 inch apart. (Note: it is much easier to cut the upper “cut out cookies” directly on the baking sheet – it eliminates possible cookie miss formation during the cookie transfer).

• Bake the cookies at 350 F for 7-8 min (the bottoms of the cookies should be just very slightly golden-brown, but the cookies still light – see photo below).
• Let cookies slightly cool down before transferring them on cooling rack.

• Dust the upper cut-out cookies with powdered sugar on the cooling wire rack, using fine mesh strainer.

• Spread jelly on the bottom cookie.
• Assemble your Jam-filled cookies sandwiches – carefully (taking care not to disturb the powdered sugar dusting).

• Serve and enjoy!
