Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter; add sugar gradually. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and sifted dry ingredients; chill dough overnight. Roll dough 1/8-inch thick on floured canvas; cut with 2-inch cutter. Arrange half of the circles on greased cookie sheets; place a half-teaspoonful of jam in center of each circle. Make a crisscross cut in center of remaining circles and place on top of jam; press edge together with tines of fork.
Bake at 375 degrees 8 to 10 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen 2-inch cookies.
Stay with cookie cutters 2 inches or smaller. Larger cookies were too doughy and not as pretty.
