Ingredients

Cookie

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon
salt
1 1/3 cups
cold Land O Lakes® Butter
2/3 cup
sour cream
Water
2/3 cup
apricot, raspberry or peach all-fruit spread

Drizzle

1 cup

  2. Heat oven to 400°F.
  3. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place half of circles 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Cut small circle with 3/4-inch round cookie cutter in center of remaining circles. Brush one side of donut-shaped cookies with water; place on top of circles on baking sheet moistened-side down.

These cookies were very greasy and overly buttery. The dough itself is rather bland, as no sugar is used, so the frosting is a must. There are better recipes out there.

These turned out exactly like the picture. Puffed up to give a nice space to fill with jam.
