Mmmm – jam cookies are so tasty! A buttery cookie filled with a deliciously sweet jam – Yum!!!
Jammin’ Sandwich Cookies
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp almond extract
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup finely gound almonds
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup seedless berry jam
Cream together butter and 3/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat in almond extract. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine flour, almonds, and salt. Add milk and flour mixture to creamed mixture, alternating milk and dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly at medium speed between additions.
Knead gently and form into disc. Cover with plastic and chill 3 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift 1/4 cup powdered sugar in small bowl and set aside.
Cut dough in half, return unused portion to refrigerator. Roll out dough on a board lightly dusted with powdered sugar to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut using small cookie cutter (1 1/2″) and lay on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 18-20 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on racks. (Re-roll scraps and remaining dough until all is used.)
Spread jam on bottoms of cookies while still hot and join together to form sandwiches. Let cool colmpletely, and roll in powdered sugar to coat, dusting off excess.
