Jam Sandwiches (Dessert)(permalink)

Ingredients:
(A)
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 stick butter or margarine

1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk

Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 tablespoons milk

Jam

Mix ingredients (A) together. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the crumbs are the size of small peas. Make a well in the center and add the egg and milk, mixed together. Mix the dough well.

Roll dough into 1/8" thickness on floured board, and cut into 2" circles. Put on a lightly greased cookie sheet, and bake in a 375 degree oven for 6-8 minutes. Note: These burn quickly once done, so watch them carefully!

Cool cookies.

To assemble: Put 1/2 teaspoon of your favorite jam on the bottom of one cookie, and sandwich it with another on top. Glaze the cookies with the icing, and allow icing to dry fully. Paint designs on the top of the cookies with food coloring, i.e. holly berries and leaves for Christmas.

This recipe is from the kitchen of Libby's Mom.
These are also one of Libby's Christmas favorites. A few years ago she made them in whale shapes... they were a big hit.
