1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons powdered egg whites

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Roll out dough slightly less than 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out 1 1/2-inch rounds.

Fill cookies:
Sandwich jam and preserves between unsugared sides of cookies, filling half with raspberry and half with apricot.

SPITZBUBEN (SWISS JAM COOKIES)

Spitzbuben (Swiss Jam Cookies) image

Time 1h8m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups butter (or margarine)
2 1/4 cups ground blanched almonds (may be called almond meal at the store)
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
3 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
fruit jam (flavor of your choice, but make sure there are no fruit chunks in it)
confectioners' sugar
white of 1 egg

Steps:

Beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the almond meal and vanilla flavouring and the white of 1 egg.
Add the flour and knead until smooth.
Chill dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Preheat over to 325 degrees.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured cutting board to the thickness of 1/8"-1/4" (the thinner the dough, the better the cookie).
Cut with small round, star, or diamond-shaped cookie cutters.
Use a smaller cookie cutter to cut a "window" in half the cookies (these will be the top of the cookie sandwiches).
Place all the cookies on lightly buttered and floured cookie sheets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden.
Remove cookies from the baking sheet and let cool.
Spread the cookies without a "window" with fruit jam.
Coat the cookies with "windows" in confectioners' sugar, and then place on top of the cookies with fruit jam.
