1 |
recipe dough for Glazed Butter Cookies, prepared through step 3 |

2 |
tablespoons turbinado sugar |
|
1¼ |
cups raspberry jam, simmered until reduced to 1 cup, strained, and cooled to room temperature |
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut rounds from 1 piece of rolled dough and place on 1 prepared sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheet for 3 minutes; transfer cookies to wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
2. Sprinkle second piece of rolled dough evenly with sugar. Using 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter, cut rounds of sugar-sprinkled dough. Using ¾-inch round cookie cutter, cut out centers of sugared rounds. Bake and cool cookies as directed in step 1, using second prepared sheet.
3. Spread 1 teaspoon jam on top of each solid cookie, then cover with cut-out cookie. Let filled cookies stand until set, about 30 minutes, before serving.
