Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough into two portions, flatten into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out one portion of dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roll out the second portion of dough and cut out circles with a smaller heart or circle cut-out in the center.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spread a teaspoon of raspberry jam on the flat side of each solid cookie.
- Dust the cut-out cookies with powdered sugar and place them on top of the jam-covered cookies, pressing gently to sandwich them together.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Refrigerating the dough helps in easy rolling and cutting.
