Jam cookies recipe | Jam Sandwich Cookies | Jam filled butter cookies

Perfectly crisp, butter-rich cookies filled with jam.

 

It is easy to put together these homemade Jam Sandwich Cookies. With a buttery shortbread base and warm jam centre, these cookies are a delectable treat for all of us! 

I used a medium size circular cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. To cut out the circular opening for the jam I used the back of a piping tip and a heart-shaped plunger cutter. 

You can use any flavour of fruit jam. Have them with a cup of cold milk.
