Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups softened butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Raspberry Preserves (I love Bonne Maman)
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer mix together the butter, sugar and vanilla with the paddle attachment until just combined.
- Add the flour, water and salt and mix on low speed until the dough comes together in a uniform mass. Transfer the dough to your work surface and shape into a flat disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Once chilled, sprinkle some flour on the dough and roll the dough out to a uniform ¼ inch thickness and, using a cookie cutter, cut out as many cookies as possible. Rework any leftover dough and repeat until no dough remains, adding a few tablespoons of flour if it's still sticky. Using a smaller cookie cutter, make holes in the middle of half of your rounds. Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill for an additional 15 minutes prior to baking
- Bake the cookies for 15 - 20 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature.
- Dust the cut out cookies with confectioners' sugar and spread raspberry preserves on each solid cookie. Sandwich your cookies together and serve.
Notes
- Raspberry jam looks so pretty with the powdered sugar! Make sure and dust them just before serving so the powdered sugar doesn't soak in.
