Instructions
Make the dough - In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, almond or rose extract, then mix in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Wrap and chill until firm.
226 g Unsalted butter, 120 g Powdered sugar, 1 large Egg, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, ¼ tsp Almond or Rose Extract, 315 g All-purpose flour, ¼ tsp Salt
Cut the cookies: Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface, then cut the cookies using your sandwich cookie cutter. Cut an even number of cookies, then cut small Easter shapes from the centers of half the cookies to make the tops. I used the Easter sandwich cookie cutters.
Bake - Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until the edges are just lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Assemble - Spread jam on the bottom cookies and place the cutout cookies on top so the jam shows through the center. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
