I call these “gift cookies.” Pack them inside a decorative jar for a perfect hostess gift.
300 grams flour
200 grams margarine (use soy-free, if needed)
100 grams confectioners’ sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
grated rind of 1 lemon
100 grams confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
1 cup Tuscanini Strawberry Jam
In a food processor, using the metal blade, pulse together flour, margarine and confectioner’s sugar until you get a crumbly mixture. Add the lemon rind, egg yolk and vanilla extract and combine just until the dough forms, no longer.
Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a flowershaped cookie cutter to cut out flower shapes. Transfer the flowers to a lined cookie sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out a small ring in the center of half of the cookies.
Bake in a preheated oven at 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius) for 15–20 minutes, until the cookies are firm and slightly golden. Remove and allow to cool.
To assemble the cookies, first sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on the cookies with the hole in the center. Heat the jam for a few seconds in the microwave and transfer into an icing bag with a smooth .03-inch (one-centimeter) opening. Squeeze out a small mound of jam into the center of the uncut cookies. Cover each jammed flower with a “holey” flower. Press together slightly until the jam fills the hole and you have sandwich flower cookies.

will it work with raspberry jam?
Sure, you can use any flavor you like.
These came out delicious! the lemon zest gives the cookie a really nice flavour. The dough however is quite hard to work with and needs more flour when rolling.
