Jam Filled Sandwich Cookies

When Dorie's book, Baking Chez Moi,  came out late last fall I started baking tons of recipes.  How could I wait for the twice a month Tuesday with Dorie baking??!!  So last February I made these cookies and they were lovely.

It's really hot this summer (I'm not complaining) so I've been reluctant to turn on the oven.  Since I made these last winter and even remembered to take a couple of pictures once they came out of the oven, I decided not to bake them again this week.

They are two delicious, thin cookies with a bit of jam in the middle.  My notes in the margins of the book remind me to press on the sides of the cookies before baking so as not to squish out the jam.  What else can I say?  They turned out great!

Here are a couple of pictures of the just-baked cookies and of the view outside my window when I baked the cookies in February!

  1. They were great, weren't they! I was just glad that in the middle of this heat wave, the batch was so small, I didn't have to have the oven on for long.

  2. Those snow pictures are great on such a hot and sticky day. The cookies were really good, we enjoyed them and I know they will be
    repeated in the winter time.

  3. I always forget to take pictures when I bake or cook ahead - good for you! I also think these are good cookies for winter. The jam will bring back the flavours of summer so nicely.
