Heart jam cutout cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 TBS lemon juice
• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
• 1/3 cup strawberry jam
• powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl.
2. In a mixer bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat until smooth. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture, lemon juice, and zest. Beat, scraping down sides, until combined. Shape dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 3 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350. Line several baking pans with parchment paper. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface until it's 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 11/2 inch heart shapes and place on prepared pans. For half the hearts, use 3/4 inch cookie cutter to cut a heart from center. Reroll these hearts and other scraps; repeat until all dough is used. Bake until golden 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
4. Spread jam on whole cookies. Dust cut-outs with powdered sugar. Sandwich together. Makes 6 dozen.
