Jelly Sandwich Cookies

Desserts

To create the stained glass effect of these cookies, I sandwich jelly between two layers of basic dough. Your favorite raisin filling is excellent here, too.

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Using a 1-1/2-in. cookie cutter of your choice, cut out the center of half of the cookies.
2. Place whole cookies 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Spread with 1 teaspoon jelly or jam; top with cutout cookies. Pinch edges with a fork to seal. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
