Preparation

Step 1

Mix sugar, oil, and butter and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the sugar mixture until just blended.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll out the dough as thin as possible. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out an even number of cookies. Use a thimble to cut the center of half of the cookies. Using a metal spatula, transfer the solid cookies to the prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Lay the cookies with holes on top of solid cookies.

Whisk raspberry jam until smooth, and spoon enough onto each cookie to fill the hole.

Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. Cool on wire racks and dust with confectioners' sugar.
