Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry, strawberry, apricot)

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disk. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Remove one portion of the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
8. Using a cookie cutter of your desired shape, cut out an equal number of cookies. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
9. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Once the cookies are cool, spread a teaspoon of fruit preserves onto the bottom side of half of the cookies.
13. Place another cookie, bottom side down, on top of the fruit preserves to create a sandwich.
14. Gently press the cookies together to secure the filling.
15. Repeat this process until all cookies have been sandwiched together.
16. Serve and enjoy!
