These apricot jam sandwich cookies will bring you back to your childhood! The cookie dough is soft and easy to work with, perfect for even the smallest bakers. This recipe makes a very large amount of cookies, so feel free to halve the recipe to yield a smaller batch. And if apricot jam isn’t your favorite, feel free to get creative with the fillings (think melted chocolate, chocolate spread, lotus cookie butter…).
1 pound shortening
6 cups flour
8 egg yolks
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
1 cup cold water or seltzer
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
Cream shortening and flour.
Add remaining ingredients. Knead into smooth dough.
Roll out dough on floured board to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes with juice glass or a cookie cutter.
With a thimble, make a hole in the center of half of the cookies.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit on lined cookie sheets for seven to eight minutes, until golden.
When cool, spread whole cookie with apricot jam and cover with cookie with center hole.
Yield: 80 cookies
