JAM SANDWICHES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Shape the dough into 4 disks and roll each between 2 sheets of wax paper to 1/8 inch thick. Chill until firm, 30 minutes in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using floured 2-inch-round fluted cutters, cut out cookies. Place on the prepared sheets. Reroll, chill, and cut the scraps. Using a smaller cutter, cut out the centers of half the cookies. Bake, rotating the positions of the pans halfway through, until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Dust the cutout cookies with confectioners' sugar, then form sandwiches with whole cookies, jam (1 1/2 teaspoons per sandwich), and the cutouts.

Steps:

• Combine cheese and butter in bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth. (Goat cheese butter may be covered and set aside at room temperature until ready to assemble sandwiches, up to 2 hours.)
• Cut baguette in half lengthwise; spread 1 cut side with goat cheese butter, and top with a layer of prosciutto. Spread second cut side with jam, and place on top of other half. Cut baguette into even pieces, and serve.
