Ingredients
-
½ cup butter, softened
-
½ cup white sugar
-
2 eggs
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 tablespoon allspice
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-
½ cup butter, softened
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
-
¼ cup milk, or as needed
-
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 cup strawberry jam
-
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one a time, mixing well after each one. Combine the flour, baking powder, allspice and cinnamon; stir into the batter until blended. The dough will be very stiff.
-
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a juice glass or cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
-
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges start to brown lightly. Cool cookies on wire racks for at least 15 minutes.
-
While cookies cool, make the frosting. Beat the butter and salt together until soft, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth and light.
-
Spread strawberry jam onto one side of a cookie, then top with another cookie to make a jam sandwich. Spread frosting on top, and place a maraschino cherry half in the center before the frosting sets. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
