Pulse the pecans and granulated sugar together in a
food processor until the mixture resembles a coarse
meal. Reserve mixture. Combine fl our and salt in a
separate mixing bowl. Reserve.
Cut the butter into approximately tablespoon-size
pieces and add to Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl. Insert the fl at
mixing paddle. Turn to speed 2 and cream the butter
for about 15 seconds. Increase to speed 4 for an
additional 15 seconds. Scrape the bowl and paddle.
Turn to speed 1 and add the confectioners’ sugar.
Increase to speed 4 to incorporate completely, about
20 seconds. Scrape bowl and paddle and then add the
pecan/sugar mixture and vanilla and mix again on
speed 2 to incorporate ingredients. Slowly add the dry
ingredients while mixing on speed 1. Once all of the dry
ingredients are added, turn to speed 2 until the mixture
is a homogenous dough.
Cut the dough into two equal discs, wrap in plastic and
place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets
with parchment paper.
Remove one dough disc from refrigerator. On a fl oured
surface, roll the dough into an even
1
⁄
8
” thickness. Using
a 2-inch round, fl uted cookie cutter, cut rounds and
place on parchment-lined baking sheet (an offset
spatula works well to transfer cookies to baking sheets).
Roll out and cut any remaining dough scraps in the
same manner and place on lined baking sheets. Bake
for 16 to 20 minutes, turning baking sheet midway
through baking time. Cookies are done when they are
lightly golden around the edges.
While the fi rst batch of cookies is baking, roll out and
cut the second dough and cut with the same 2-inch
cookie cutters. Make a second cut with a ¾-inch round
cookie cutter in the center of each cookie. Roll and cut
remaining scraps. Transfer cookies to baking sheets and
bake as directed.
Heat jam either in microwave or on stovetop until just
liquid – jam will be too runny if it is too hot.
Once the cookies have cooled, spread about ¾
teaspoon of jam on the center of the solid cookie. Then
place the cut out cookie on top. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Store in an airtight container with cookie layers
separated by wax paper.
