These apricot jam sandwich cookies will bring you back to your childhood! The cookie dough is soft and easy to work with, perfect for even the smallest bakers. This recipe makes a very large amount of cookies, so feel free to halve the recipe to yield a smaller batch. And if apricot jam isn’t your favorite, feel free to get creative with the fillings (think melted chocolate, chocolate spread, lotus cookie butter…).
