📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed for ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
2
Turn mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.
3
Remove the dough, flatten it into a disk and wrap in cling wrap. Refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 1 hour.
4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
5
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit for ⏱️ 10 minutes, to take the chill off.
6
Dust a clean counter with flour and using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to 1/4- inch thick.
7
Cut out the dough using a round 2- inch round biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. In half of the rounds, cut out circle (or shape) in the centers. You can use a small cookie cutter, or even the back of a piping tip.
8
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and place baking sheet in the freezer.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. When the oven is preheated, remove the baking sheet from the freezer and bake for ⏱️ 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Transfer the cookie to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, spread about 1 teaspoon of preserves on the bottoms of the solid cookies. Gently press the cut out cookies on top of the preserves.

Dust all the cookies with powdered sugar.
