Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Filling & Topping

  • 1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the brown sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, beating until everything is well blended.
  2. Mix the Dough: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture. Beat thoroughly until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions; wrap each half in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  3. Roll and Cut Solid Cookies: On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of the dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them on lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheets.
  4. Roll and Cut Cookies with Cutouts: Roll out the remaining chilled dough to the same thickness and use the same 3 1/2-inch round cutter to cut circles. Then, use a 1- or 1 1/2-inch star-shaped (or any preferred shape) cookie cutter to remove the center from each cookie, creating cutouts. Arrange these on the prepared baking sheets as well.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 5 to 6 minutes or until they are just lightly browned. Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich Cookies: Spread a generous layer of strawberry jam on each solid cookie. Lightly dust the cookies with cutout centers with powdered sugar, then press them on top of the jam-covered solid cookies, aligning the cutouts to showcase the jam filling.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps maintain the shape of the cookies during baking and makes rolling easier.
  • Use seedless strawberry jam for a smoother filling and easier spreading.
  • Ensure cookies are fully cooled before assembling to prevent jam from melting or cookies from becoming soggy.
  • Substitute the star-shaped cutter with any other small shape to customize the look of the sandwich cookies.
  • Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days for best freshness.
