1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Salt

3/4 c Butter, softened
2 Eggs

plastic wrap; refrigerate until firm.

Preheat oven to 350’F. On lightly floured board, roll out half of dough to

dough. Cut 1″ round centers from half of unbaked cookies. Place on

Bake 8-10 minutes just until set. Let stand on cookie sheets 2 minutes.
Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely.

Over hot (not boiling) water, melt Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate
morsels, stirring until smooth. Spread 1 measuring teaspoonful melted
chocolate on flat side of each whole cookie. Top with 1/2 measuring
teaspoon raspberry jam. Sprinkle confectioners’ sugar on cookies with
center holes; place flat side down on top of chocolate-jam cookies to form
cookie sandwiches.

Makes about 3 dozen sandwich cookies.
