2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup each seedless raspberry jam and strawberry preserves

Recipe

Mix flour, baking powder, salt in bowl. Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat in flour mixture. Divide in half, shape each into disk, wrap, chill 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350¼F. Coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Roll half of dough on floured waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Using 1-3/4-inch round scalloped cutter, cut out cookies. In half the cookies, cut out 3/4-inch hole in center. Repeat with remaining dough. Reroll scraps. Remove cookies to prepared baking sheet. Bake in 350¼F oven 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned around edges. Remove to rack to cool.

Spread scant 1/2 teaspoon raspberry jam on half of solid cookies. Spread scant 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves on remaining solid cookies. Dust cookies with hole in center with confectioners' sugar. Place on filled cookie bases. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
