- 150 g Butter room temperature
- ½ cup sugar 100g
- For filling:
- ½ cup Strawberry jam

- Confectioner sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well using spatula until fully combined.
- Gradually add the flour in two additions, mixing after each. Once the dough starts to come together, knead it gently into a smooth ball.
- Flatten the dough slightly into a disc shape, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a round sableé cutter to cut out the cookies. For half of the cookies, use a small decorating tip or mini cutter to create a circle in the center.
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 13–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over the top cookies (the ones with the center cut out) while still warm.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread about half a teaspoon of strawberry jam onto the whole cookies. Gently sandwich with the sugar-dusted cookies on top.
