Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

7. Roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
8. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out an even number of cookies.
9. Place half of the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
10. Spoon a small amount of jam onto the center of each cookie on the baking sheet.
11. Place the remaining cookies on top of the jam-covered cookies, pressing gently to create sandwich cookies.
12. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
13. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
14. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make the buttercream filling.
15. Spread a dollop of buttercream on the bottom side of one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.
16. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
17. Serve and enjoy!
