Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

for the filling

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp raspberry jam

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar, until light and creamy, in a large bowl or an electric mixer.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla, until everything is combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. 
  • Once the dough comes together, divide the dough in two. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and set aside. Roll the dough out on a floured surface or on a sheet of parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Use a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter - we used a heart. Be sure to cut the same number of bottom cookies (full cookies) as to cookies (the cookie that has a smaller cut out). 
  • Place the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake the bottoms and tops separately, they are going to have different baking times. Bake the bottoms for 7-9 minutes and the tops for 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack until they are completely cool. Sprinkle the "top" cookies with powdered sugar. Set aside.
  • Now, it's time to make the frosting. Whip together the butter and icing sugar. Once combined, whisk in the vanilla, milk and jam.
  • Use an off-set spatula, or a knife, or spread the filling on the bottom on each cookie.
  • Then top with the upper cookie.
