Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • .5 cup brown sugar
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • .5 cup Starfruit Jam see my recipe link in post
  • 1 tbsp confectioners sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Stir in flour until smooth and well combined. Dough will be stiff.
  • Cover and refrigerate dough for 2-3 hours. Make starfruit jam during this time.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees (McCalls says 300).
  • Cut cookies. Top each with about a tsp of Starfruit Jam. Sandwich with another cookie (I cut out a star in my topper cookies).
  • Place cookies at least 1 inch apart and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Allow to cool and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
