Ingredients:

• 3.5 cups – Flour
• 1/4 tsp – Salt
• 1.5 cups – Unsalted Butter (at room temperature)
• 1 cup – Sugar
• 1 tsp – Vanilla essence
• Strawberry jam (as per need)
• Confectioner’s Sugar (as per need for dusting)

Method:

1. In a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until they turn smooth.
2. Add the vanilla and mix.
3. Meanwhile in another bowl, sift the flour and salt. Add gradually to the butter-sugar mixture and combine well to make a soft dough.
4. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour, shape it into a flat disc, wrap in plastic and let it sit in fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
5. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface and cut it with a cookie cutter into plain or fluted cookies.
6. Count the cookie rounds and divide them in half.
7. With a small bottle lid, cut a hole in each round.
8. Now transfer the cookie rounds to a baking sheet lined over a baking tray, leaving enough space in between.
9. Keep them again in fridge for 15 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Now bake the chilled cookies for 15-20 minutes until the edges turn light brown.
11. Allow them to cool completely.
12. Dust the top of the Bake cut-out cookies with confectioner’s sugar and spread the jam on the flat side.
13. Assemble the cookies like a sandwich and store them in an airtight box.
