- ½ teaspoon salt
Filling

Vanilla glaze
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
🥣 Step 1 – Cream Butter & Sugar
Beat butter + sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
This gives soft cookies.
Fluffy butter = soft texture.
Don’t rush.

Mix until smooth.
Scrape bowl.
🥄 Step 3 – Add Dry Ingredients

Add gradually.
Mix until dough forms.
Don’t overmix.
Dough should be soft but not sticky.
If sticky → chill 15 minutes.
✋ Step 4 – Shape Cookies
Roll dough into balls.
Flatten slightly with hand or glass.
Place on baking tray.
Keep even size so sandwiches match later.
🔥 Step 5 – Bake
Bake:
170–175°C (340°F)
for 10–12 minutes
Until:
✔ edges lightly golden
✔ centers pale
Don’t overbake.
Soft cookies = better sandwiches.
Cool completely.
🍓 Step 6 – Fill with Jam
Spread jam on one cookie.
Place another cookie on top.
Press gently.
Jam should slightly peek out.
That gooey look = perfect 😍
🍶 Step 7 – Make Glaze
Mix:
- powdered sugar
- milk
- vanilla
Until thick but spreadable.
Spread or drizzle on top.
Let set 10–15 minutes.
🍽️ Serve
Stack them.
Slice one open.
Watch that jam ooze out…
Instant happiness 😂
