You could of course just leave them as is and not put the holes in them. Just a classic jam filled sugar cookie.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 1/4 C flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 C Butter
- 1 C sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 C thick sour cream
- Seedless Raspberry Jelly
- vanilla sugar
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and baking powder
- In another bowl beat the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and sour cream
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until combined
- Divide into 4 flat disks, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- Roll out the dough between parchment paper, thinner than normal, less than 1/4 of an inch
- Cut out your circles and spread out the circles just a little bit, then roll them out as evenly as you can until they are about 1/8th of an inch (a little more is okay)
- Dab a small amt of the jelly in the center of half the circles, then top each jelly circle with one of the plain circles.
- Now cut the cookies one more time to seal the two layers together
- Sprinkle the vanilla sugar on the top to add a sweet crunch
- Using a toothpick break through JUST the top layer into the jelly twice to create you teeth marks
- Bake 12-15 mins, until just slightly golden on the edges
- Let cool then add a little extra jelly "dripping" from the teeth marks
