Directions

Serving Size: 24 sandwich cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Beat, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, butter and sugar until combined. Beat in next 3 ingredients, until a soft dough forms.
  • Shape dough into 2 flat discs. Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • Roll, on a lightly floured surface, the discs to about ⅛” (0.3 cm) thick. Cut out cookies with a 2 ½” (6 cm) cookie cutter. Use a smaller cookie cutter to punch out a hole in the centre of half of the cookies. These will be the tops of the cookie sandwiches.
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheets 1” (2.5 cm) apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack, 30 minutes.
  • Place cookies bottom side up and spread with 2 tsp (10 mL) fruit spread. Top with a cutout cookie. Press lightly to form a sandwich. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
