I love filled cookies, especially those filled with strawberry jam. I used to hoard bags of them at home. Who knew they’d be so easy to do at home?
Window Cookies
1 ½ cups MAYA Cornstarch
¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
¼ cup MAYA All-Purpose Flour
½ cup butter
1 piece whole egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
different flavors of jam( blueberry, strawberry and
pineapple)
In a bowl, mix well all ingredients until smooth. Divide cookie dough into 2 portions. Roll out each cookie dough into ¼ inch thick. Cut into 2-inch rounds and using a 1-inch or small cookie cutter, cut out the center of the other half of cookie rounds. Arrange on cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Cool. Get one piece of cookie and spread jam. Press with another cookie with a cut-out center to get the window effect.
Yield: 12-15 pairs
