Step 1

Preheat the oven as per package instructions Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Check the instructions on the store-bought dough to prepare it for rolling. The package I used instructed me to knead. 1/4 flour into the dough.

Step 3

Once the dough is ready for rolling, form it into a round and cut it in half.

Step 4

Lightly flour the surface you are rolling on, and roll out ½ of the dough to ¼ inch thickness.

Step 5

Cut out desired shapes and place half of them on a parchment lined cookie sheet 2 inches a part.

Step 6

Microwave the jam for about 10 seconds so will easily spread.

Step 7

Place a teaspoonful of jam on the center of each cookie and spread it gently - making sure it doesn’t get too close to the edges of the cookie.

Step 8

Cut a small shape out of the center of the remaining shapes.

Step 9

Place them over the top of the jam topped cookie, lining up the edges. Press gently around the edges with your finger or a fork to seal.

Step 10

Repeat the same process with the second half of the dough.

Step 11

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn brown around the edges.

Step 12

Let them cool completely on the cookie sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
