Method |

| Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer; gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Cover and chill 1 hour. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll each portion to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut with a round or oval cookie cutter. Place on baking sheets lined with parchment or Silpat mats, or sprayed well with Pam or Baker?s Joy. Bake for about 15 minutes and cool on wire racks. Make sandwiches with three cookies, spreading jam on each round. Top with a dollop of royal icing. |
