Jammie Dodgers

Servings: 18 Jammie Dodgers
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- strawberry jam, or your favorite jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, sugar, and salt to a large bowl. Beat with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract and beat until well combined. You will likely need to scrape down the bowl two or three times to make sure everything is completely incorporated.
- Add the flour in 2-3 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until the flour is completely incorporated.
- Dust a clean surface lightly with flour. Roll out the dough until it is ¼ inch thick. Use a 1 ½-inch round or scalloped cookie cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, kneading together the scraps and rerolling the dough as needed.
- Use a ½-inch heart or circle cookie cutter to cut out a hole in the center of half of your cut-out cookies. Press together the cut-out scraps and use them to roll out more cookies.
- Place the cookies on the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 1 inch between them. Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes. Once they have chilled, bake for 7-8 minutes, until the edges are just barely turning light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the cookie sheet.
- Once the cookies are cooled, use a spoon to spread a scant teaspoon of jam (your favorite kind! I used strawberry) in the center of the cookies without the cut-out. Top each one with a cookie with a cut out to form the sandwich.
