How to Make Jam Jam Cookies 1981
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a small bowl, dissolve ½ teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons of milk. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll to about ½ inch thickness and cut out cookies using a glass or cookie cutter.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread your favorite jam on the underside of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Alternatively, spread marshmallow fluff on one cookie, jam on the other, and sandwich together.
- For an optional iced version: Prepare a simple butter icing (recipe not included but easily found online). Ice one cookie, spread jam on the other and sandwich together.
