Preparation

Step 1

Preparation:
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Cream together shortening and sugar. Add egg, evaporated milk and vanilla. Mix well. Gradually add flour mixture until completely combined. Form into a ball. Put in an airtight container overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll-out dough and cut-out with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets for 8 to 10 minutes.

When cool, assemble cookies. Place a teaspoon of jam on the bottom of a cookie, then cover with another cookie. The tops of the cookies should be facing outward on both top and bottom. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
