INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 1 ½ cups vegetable shortening
    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar, divided, or as needed
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

  • Filling and Coating

    • ¼ cup apricot jam, or as needed

STEPS

1

Combine shortening and 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl; cut with a pastry knife until crumbly. Add egg and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Work in 2 cups flour with your hands; knead until stiff and similar in consistency to pie dough.

2

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or Silpat® mats.

3

Dust a work surface with flour. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut rounds; create matching cut-out cookies for tops. Re-roll and repeat until all dough is used.

4

Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, ensuring they do not brown. Remove and cool completely before handling.

5

Spread a layer of apricot jam on whole cookies, top with cut-out cookies, and coat in remaining sugar.
