Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/10 cup butter softened, 250 grams
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar 50 grams
  • 1 .88 cups all-purpose flour 225 grams
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch 25 grams
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 Cup Raspberry Jam

Buttercream

  • 7 TBSP butter softened, 100grams
  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar 200 grams
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • preheat the oven to 375˚
  • line two baking sheets with parchment, draw 28 1 1/2 inch circles on the parchment, and then flip it over so you don't get it on your cookies--these are piping guides you don't HAVE to pipe with them
  • beat the butter and powdered sugar for the cookies together until light and fluffy
  • add the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and beat again until the dough is very light
  • put it in a piping bag fitted with the large star tip-really any size tip will work here the opening on mine is less than an inch and it worked well
  • pipe 28 whirls on your prepared baking sheets, just pipe a circle and then make sure the center is filled in
  • bake the cookie for 10-12 minutes, take them out before they brown up, don't let them burn
  • cool on the baking sheets
  • meanwhile whip the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until light and fluffy
  • load the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with whatever tip you want to use
  • when your cookies are completely cool set them in pairs according to size and shape
  • then pipe a generous dollop of buttercream on the bottom halves
  • top with a scoop of jam
  • gently press the top on and set on a serving plate, be careful these cookies are VERY DELICATE and will be crushed easily
