Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine softened butter, icing sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add sifted all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough and place them on the baking sheets. Use a smaller cutter for half of them to create cutouts.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before spreading with raspberry jam.
  9. To assemble, take a whole cookie, spread raspberry jam on top, and place the cutout cookie over it.
  10. Dust the tops of the assembled cookies with icing sugar before serving.

Ensure butter is fully softened for easy mixing and avoid a crumbly dough. Chill the dough to help cookies maintain their shape during baking.
