Directions: |
Directions:1) Preheat oven to 375. Cream together butter and 3/4C sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Sift flour and salt together; add to creamed butter mixture. Mix thoroughly.
2) Divide dough in half. Roll first half into 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use 2-1/2-inch round cookie cutter(or the top of a round glass) to cut out circles.
3) Roll second portion out into 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 2-1/2-inch circles and then use a thimble to cut out smaller circles inside these rounds (NOTE: You may also use a linzer cookie cutter or a small 1/2-inch cutter for this). Brush these "wheels" with egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar and chopped almonds (optional).
4) Place cookies on ungreased baking sheet and bake on center rack of oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and cool on counter.
5) Place a scant 1/2 tsp pf jelly in the middle of the round cookies and cover with the "wheels" to create sandwich cookies. |
