Cover with foil and place in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Flour your work surface well, working with one dough ball at a time, roll out into a rough circle.

Once the cookies are cooled, place one whole cookie, right side down, put a small teaspoon of jam in the center and spread it gently.

Once the cookies are cooled, dredge the cutout cookies with icing sugar. These can be stored in an airtight jar for about a week.
